4 upvotes 5 years ago

community Do botanical oils actually improve absorption in a minoxidil and finasteride topical?

2 upvotes 1 month ago

A user is using a pharmacy-compounded topical treatment for hair loss containing minoxidil, finasteride, azelaic acid, caffeine, and an oil blend including argan, jojoba, castor, rosemary, tea tree, and nettle oils. They are questioning if the oil blend improves absorption of the active ingredients compared to a simple alcohol/propylene glycol solution.

community Second shed ended (I think) but the hairs are not blended in just yet. I should see regrowth again this time right… Over the next few months 👀 1st pic before shed, 2nd pic after shed. I see some smaller hairs looking like they can awaken from the demons and thicken up.👏

learn Melatonin

hormone commonly taken for sleep aid has some topical benefits for hair

learn Ginkgo biloba

Should ginkgo biloba be taken orally or applied topically for hair loss? No published human trial has tested ginkgo biloba for hair loss by either route, so neither oral nor topical use can be recommended over the other; the oral route also has a documented bleeding interaction with anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs.

learn Vitamin E

Is it better to take Vitamin E orally or apply it topically for hair loss? Oral mixed tocotrienols have one small randomized human trial reporting increased hair count; topical vitamin E has no human trial for pattern hair loss, only a 1965 rabbit study. Neither is approved for hair loss, and high-dose vitamin E carries bleeding risk.

learn Microneedling

technique to create small wounds in skin to activate collagen production and hair growth

learn Procyanidin

bioflavonoid found in plants with antioxidant and hair stimulating properties

learn Follistatin

glycoprotein that inhibits TGF-β and promotes hair growth by antagonizing activin

learn Finasteride

Topical or oral? Choosing between pills and lotions according to your case. Topical finasteride offers localized treatment with fewer systemic side effects than oral finasteride.

learn Cetirizine

Is topical cetirizine effective for androgenetic alopecia in women? Topical cetirizine is not an approved product and its use for female-pattern hair loss is off-label. The evidence is one small unblinded pilot study in mixed-sex patients and one randomized trial in 66 women where cetirizine was added to minoxidil; it is unproven on its own.

learn Estradiol

How does topical Estradiol compare to oral Estradiol in treating alopecia? Topical estradiol delivers hormone to the scalp with less systemic exposure, but evidence is thin and it is still a hormone. It needs a doctor's supervision, and people with estrogen-sensitive cancers must not use it without medical approval.
