Topical Finasteride For Hair Loss: How to Use and Where To Get It 

You're using 0.25% finasteride per ml?

Hi can you please explain how you prepare the solution. And how much active ingredient you put in Finasteride. I assume you are preparing the solution with minoxidil

@@xGabanax1 I use 0.05 % per 1 ml, and I use 1 ml morning and another at night, so in total I get 0.1%, equivalent to the finasteride you get through oral.

@@def7550 0.05% per ml, and I use it twice per day so I get 0.1%. But I don't make it, I buy the mixed solution, from minixidilmax.

@Brain Freed Yes, I use 0.1 finasteride mixed with 6% minox.

I don't think he knows what he's talking about. If it needs to be metabolized by the liver for it to effective, then why is the scalp DHT inhibition greater with topical in studies?

​@@gw4980it's not greater?

How to make it at home 😮

What's the finasteride concentration in 1ml? and how is the result ? TIA

How is it going now?

@@midohossam6586 i stopped it as it affected my sex life.

How you make it😮

Update bro??

Where do you buy topical one?

@@Adriano70911 just Google topical finastride and there are a couple of places that might send it to your country.

@@graeme1744 I don't think so. I've been trying it with no satisfying results. If you know a place with cheap fin and shipping to EU, then share it please

@@Adriano70911 hihappyhead

Graeme Davin I think I have the same problems. I’m not sure if it nocebo or if I’m actually getting the sides. I stopped using it a couple days ago because I got depressed but again I’m not sure what’s really going on. I might try topical but I have to crush up the pills and mix it into a carrier oil like minoxidil. I’m really down about this because my hair loss really bothers me.

Side effects are REAL, but they are Rare !!! IF you feels Sad after 30 days, less strong, depressed, maybe your tits are extra sensitive and your erections are soft, probably don't use this Drug !!! A certain, very small, group of men with certain genetic dispositions are devastated by this drug ....>FACT !

I agreeee

Will why you decide to switch?

Djsnoop123 because I ordered my Topical Fin from the US (I live in the UK) and with the Coronavirus outbreak I was concerned it might not arrive, so I decided to buy oral fin in the UK, which thankfully has arrived

How much was it? Also would you recommend it

What was the website in the US you ordered from? After the Coronavirus saga I would like to order some

Dack Davenport yes Minoxidil Max. £90 was a bit pricey but considering I used it 6 days a week and it lasted me almost 5 months I’d say it’s pretty good

you have no idea what your blood work was prior to even using fin so you can't blame it at all , your fault for just taking oral tablets and not knowing your hormone levels to start with

@@GokuPlaysUK Thanks Doc for clearing that up for me and explaining my entire medical history👍 MUG!!!

How can finasteride affect you if you quit it 10 years ago ? There are countless possible reasons for any symptoms you may be having, how can you say it is due to finasteride ?

@@TheSlimmshadyy I didn't say i took it 10 years ago. I said I had been taking it for 10 years non stop. I gave up about 15 months ago.

@@bobstar6837 So did you have any symptoms while you were on it as well ?

Did it work?

​@@johndupont8596 Hello. I'm going to try it out. I started the treatment with minxodil+topical finasteride+coconut oil today. My objective is just maintenance but If some hair growth comes as a result I'll be happy too. The coconut oil will suppress part of the serum DHT (it's DHT block effectiveness is dose-dependent according to a study done in mice) and the local suppression will be achieved with the 0.025% topical finasteride. I think with that finasteride concentration the possibility of getting any sides is minimal. Finally, the minoxidil and Dermaroller will be implemented as hair growth stimulants. There are a lot of people that combine minoxidil and finasteride in a higher concentration but even though don't get any real results. A study proved that a group of those that don't get any result of that combination was submitted to treatment with minoxidil and microneedling so that the satisfactory results came out. That's why I want to cover every kind of gap in the treatment. I hope that my hair loss reach a stability point as sooner as possible. If everything goes better I'll try to discontinue the finasteride usage slowly because I don't want to use that thing for my whole life, even though I don't think If the scientific community knows all the finasteride consequences in long term consume.

@@magnoregis1683 any update?

​@@bahrularifin6284 Hello man. I'm using a 0.125% topical solution. It's almost 3 months since I started the treatment and since then I'm suffering a hideous shedding. Some baby hairs are growing very slowly on the temples. I expect that that shedding ends soon. My crown is fulled with miniaturized hairs, I hope that those hairs can be replaced by stronger hairs.

@Jay K Hello. I'm not suffering any of those sides. I think that's very diffcult to get them with such amount of finasteride absorption. My hairloss is finally reducing though. After a time I reduce the coconut oil comsuption, I'm dermarolling once evey two weeks and I increase finasteride concentration from 0.0125% to 0.025%. But in order to cover the entire scalp with the topical solution, I'm using 2 ml, then the daily finasteride comsuption amount is equivalent to half of a pill (0.025*2).

how long habe you been using topical fin?

@@maurice1003 five months.

@@neilcowan6227 Is it work? Are you still losing hair?

Any update?

whats going on with the top its been a year

People who suffer from hair loss at a younger age have by definition a more aggressive form. In that population, you could argue that finasteride is going to be less effective over a longer period.

The Hair Loss Show what do you prescribe patients in their early twenties? Is it advisable to make a blood sample pre fin and after fin regularly to check what changes? And what balance should testosterone/estrogen/progesteron/estradiol etc be in? Could you make a video discussing that? And maybe the neurosteroids as well which apparently are low with some pfs ppl or those who take fin

Thanks Ken! Where do you get your topical finasteride? Do you use 0.25% in an ethanol base?

@@ktnguyenn3166 Hi Ken :) Did your dermatologist tell you that it worked? I've been using it for a month but many dermatologist told me it didn't work?

John Dupont hey john! As for dermatologist I didn’t visit one but for sure it’s worked for me since I’ve notice a lot of regrowth but still early stages so I’m waiting for 8-12 months to see more benefits. Give it 3-6 months to actually start seeing result ! There’s a lot of studies done on it so worth checking out :)

Good for you but you could get side effects from the Fin. I am a little surprised these docs talked generically about topical Fin. I am a pharmacist that makes topical Fin but here is the important point: I make liposomal formulation that keeps the drug local to almost undetectable systemic levels so no side effects....you can get it in Italy but quite expensive and 3 month wait. I am sorry at this time I just send to patients in the U.S......liposomal has quite a few studies supporting my claims.

​@@RAWxxx07Where do you get it from in Germany?

@Brain Freed rub it on your scalp in sections. You may need to do it when your hair is dry. It takes at least 8-12 months to see results due to our hair cycle.

What side effects did you have buddy

Liposomal Fin....no sides, check it out.

what sides? Did you use oral finasteride before?

Any update?

No sides. 2 and a bits months into oral fin and a fuck ton of shedding. No gains yet. Shedding has slowed and almost stopped. Hope to see gains over the next couple of months.

@@tonymacpherson3710 Thanks Anthony, have you seen gains now? :)

John Dupont hey mate, starting to see slight gains now. Started taking 1mg a day 6 days a week for 1 month now. 5% minoxidil in the morning and 15% (get it from the states minoxidilmax) in evening. After such a heavy shed three months ago, finally seeing gains. I’m a 33 year old male. Norwood 3 to 4 ish. Been on oral finasteride now for almost 4 months. Started off 3mg a week, now taking 6mg a week. No sides.

John Dupont yeah mate. I can see a difference.33 year old male. Been on oral finasteride almost 4 months. Upped to 6mg a week from 3mg( a week) a month ago, no sides. 5% minoxidil in morning. 15% in evening. Micro needling 1.5mm once a week( apply minoxidil approx 4 hours later). Glad to see positive results. I knew I would after such a heavy shed. Bring on month 6 and 7. I’ll take a 1 month break from oral fin in 3 months to let it clear out of my system, then go again. Good lucks boys

As in, does T convert to DHT at the hair follicle level?

@@dvlORangl yeah does it block dht or testosterone to dht conversion?

Because if it blocks the conversation then its pointless since dht already produced elsewhere and transported to head

​@@arjun6358you got the answer? Pls tell

That's why cycling it is crucial.

They should

Yeah..but it lowers more scalp dht..

@@medarametlapraveen I know. And that is great. But afterwards it goes systemic, meaning it goes into the blood serum after it gets absorbed in the tissue and if one is struggling with side affects, they wont go away.

@@alinajafi4038 I have been taking 1mg/day for 4 months..so far no sides..shall I assume that I have tolerance for finasteride

@@medarametlapraveen yes man. You are good, you wont get side effects. I unfortunately have extreme side effects. From the second day of taking oral Fin I have extreme erectile dysfunction. But I dont care any more, at this point not losing hair is more important to me.

Utter rubbish…topical only reduces serum dHT by 20%. Oral reduces my over 70%

Hi, did you find out?

Don't worry about cures in hairloss. Worry about what's available now.

Why would they release the cure when they can generate millions through hair transplants and flawed medicines that give false hope?

@@444comeon hairloss market is worth about 23 billion dollars only with the guys that want to do something against it. If there is a cure way more people would buy it so they would actually make way more money.

mezan598 are you dumb treatments are always more profitable then the cure.

@@Saad-rm8sd not always u idiot a lot of people dont give a fuck about their hair if they have to take fin or minox. And just shave it off I would do the same.

How you make this topical finasteride

Created for you by a profesional

Diego Perez but what do they do?

@@TitanRD Brainless response

@@coder001 you take the pills to a chemist and they make it a solution for you so you can apply it topically. Most pharmacies do have topical finasteride but they seem to be much expensive than getting it compounded by a chemist.

Probably

@@realmadrid-cx8yd how ?

Gustavo gaviria sameway normal fin does, and gets into the bloodstream

Even if it does, it should be less logically. With Topical, the amount of Finasteride that could eventually get into your blood stream is less compared to Oral because with oral your body should digest it then absorb it and it gets into blood stream and then reaches your scalp in this process Finasteride reaches other parts of your body too whereas with topical its direct and then the residual concentration enters the blood stream and to cause the side effects the appropriate tissues should absorb it at a certain level to have a reaction so the odds are less for that to happen not sure by how much. If your thinning area is small then the amount that gets into your blood stream is even lesser as you would be just applying to Thinning areas. Also, in no case no matter how bad your hair loss is you would not be applying to the entire scalp as your back and sides are not effected by DHT so Finasteride has no effect and if you have bald spots with dead hair follicles then there is no point of applying it either.

Would be interested in the docs opinion on this one

I use 50mg of RU everyday with minoxidil . Resulting in a really pressured chest. Think i’m going to do a major cutdown to 10 mg a day and add topical fin with it. Got side effect from oral fin so hoping for the best.

@@tehnorthface4346 why r u mixing with minoxidil ru should be enough

harshit Shishodia i have powder, so inhave to mix it with something.. And i already was on minoxidil for a year..

@@tehnorthface4346 Good luck dude! Was using 50 mg/day as well of RU and had some sides, so might lower dose or try topical fin as well

B good luck to you too! What were your sides on RU? I’m on topical fin at the moment, not on RU anymore. Think i’m going to try RU again but at really low dose

Avoid oral one! It affected me , like it makes one ejaculate too soon even after stopping years later . At the started it reduced detection but that got back to normal after I stopped it

Tbh oils are generally a scam. Literally all oils "promote hair growth". Just use some caster & coconut a couple times a week.

Exactly doesn't make sense. I believe topical fin is being absorbed into the body and reducing dht at systemic level not only in the scalp. not sure though

12 Tablets 5mg

If you are going this route, buy the 5mg pills so you have to add less. That way there are less fillers and binders in the pills, and also there is a film on them. So you can reduce the amount of junk you put in the solution. I buy both 5mg and 1mg pills so I have fine control over the concentration.

I am currently using Nizoril, It has ketoconazole which is suppose to help against hair fall as well.

Nizoral will only help if the cause of your hair loss is fungal...

The Hair Loss Show thanks for that. How do you know if it is.

Hey I've been on it for 20 days. And I actually count how many hair I lose per day. XD For first 18 days I was stable around 17~30 hair in shower. But from yesterday Im losing 70+. I also wonder What is going on here. Edit: I have a question, Been on the FIN for the first few weeks were you shedding these much?

The initial shedding is part of the treatment. It may take 3 months of shedding before new hairs grow, apparently. Hairs shed because your follicles are resetting, so it may be an indicative that the treatment is actually working

Yes it’s very normal ! Don’t stop the treatment

I think it’s something to do with your age...the younger you start going bald, the more sensitive to DHT your follicles are...I’ve been of finasteride for 4 months now and I haven’t noticed shedding(might be because I keep my hair short), but the recession of my hairline has sped up drastically and also I’ve noticed that the density of hair on my entire scalp has been reduced...I got pretty scared and started looking for people with a similar experience on baldtruthtalk forum and there are a lot of guys, like me in their 20s who experience the exact same thing... and for some of those guys the lost hair never came back

You can make it yourself. There's a website that explains how to mix it. Basically you crush up your monthly supply of Fin, add it to a months supply of minoxodil, shake the bottle for 10 minutes non stop, let it sit over night. Then just use it as you would your minox, 2mil daily provides 1mg of fin a day. i've been doing it this way for the past 3 months & getting same results as oral.

I use the dermaroller once a week & just apply the fin/minox mixture 2mil a day as normal with minox. Study showed that oral fin reduces DHT in the body by 75% but only 25% on the scalp, where as topical reduces only 25% in the body but 75% on the scalp. So you get less DHT on the area you want without the crazy sides that loosing 75% of your DHT would have.
