New Topical finasteride Study - Efficacy + Sides

[br1]

How does topical finasteride stop hairloss dude? its not an AR disruptor. finasteride stop hairloss from not allowing T to convert to DHT. How does that work on your scalp? Explain. I genuinely dont know.

DHT is a paracrine hormone. Meaning it is created where it is used. Only scalp DHT matters for hair loss. Thats why it works.

Interesting. I dont get sides from finasteride/dutasteride so I never really looked into it. Also, I seriously doubt topical finasteride works better than RU. sh*t is amazing.

Like a lot of stuff in the body its made 'on sight' in the area. Finasteride inhibits 5ar2 which is primarily concentrated in the hair follicles and prostate - by taking finasteride you primarily reduce it there and the blood content is basically the average of all the DHT in the body. If you can have a finasteride topical that reduces 5ar in the follicles and thus not f*** the rest of the body up then its far more beneficial.

Why is your regimen nothing and how bald are you?

finasteride for a couple of months and RU for over a year. Norwood 2.5 and pretty diffuse.

What Norwood are you ?

You need both buddy, RU and dutasteride should really help diffusing, that was my main problem. I'm a NW0/1, my hair is great im just staying on top of new things because I know my regimen may not work forever.

Been on liposomal finasteride for 5 months, Zinc thymulin for 2 - definitely seeing a reduction in shedding. Not sure which one is doing the most work but my guess would be the liposomal finasteride.

Can you give me a link to the topical finasteride you are using? Thanks

Did anyone here try morr-f ? Any thoughts, sides, dead dicks ?
I would like to give it a try as it's cheaper than H&W gel and less of a hassle to apply. Also, anyone did any blood tests before and after starting the treatment ?

Thanks !

Why doesnt it make sense ? Oral finasteride inhibits 5ar everywhere including the scalp and hence, less scalp DHT. Topical finasteride inhibits 5ar in the scalp and hence, stop scalp DHT and not serum DHT, which is the root of all nasty side effects. So, doesnt topical finasteride sound much better ?

we don't know if scalp DHT is actually what causes hairloss, people don't really have good results with topical finasteride compared to oral finasteride, it might be that it's actually serum DHT which damages the hairfollicle

DHT is a paracrine hormone. Meaning it is created where it is used. Only scalp DHT matters for hair loss. Thats why it works.

It's paracrine in the prostate, we don't know if it's paracrine in the hairfollicle as well

I just reordered Promox. I had them up the finasteride to .25% from .1%. We'll see if it's any more effective.

I use Morr-F.

Sides
-- Itching, which is probably because of the glycol or alcohol in it.
-- A little excessive growth of hair. My eyebrows are starting to connect to the hairline. Not much, but slightly noticeable.
-- Erections are slightly weaker, libido slighty lower, semen a little watery.

Shedding has all stopped. I think I might be getting some regrowth in my temples.

I used Morr-F from January-mid to April-mid. Shaved my hair in June end and started using Morr-F again. In May and June, my erections and libido became normal, so I am not worried about the finasteride sides, they are quite subtle.

I have never used oral finasteride. Also never used minoxidil alone. And no blood tests.

Also, the smell is pretty strong and lingers if your head is not shaved.

Have been checking my hair with a microscope as well. Never took microscopic pictures for comparison because couldn't find a similar spot to compare. But, when I shave my head, my mother and I check my scalp with the microscope and there is improvement. Some follicles are starting to sprout 2-3 hairs and small hairs, which weren't there before, can be seen. Over the months, there is increase in such follicles.

I have also started applying Rosemary and Peppermint Oil, every 2 out of 3 days, since a month ago.

Bro i saw your other post in the other Topical Finasteride thread, and there was clearly a lot of growth to see in your pictures. But in here you are saying that you "might" have some regrowth. Im confused buddy

How are your erections now ? Any problems when having sex or masturbating ? Also, any depression ?
Thanks buddy !

Good morrow,
I am using a similar topical to that of the study shared in this thread. Unfortunately, I cannot add much to the debate since I've only been taking it for a month now and it's too early to talk about efficacy. All I can say is I've had no side effects so far.
The solution includes DW + PG + Ethanol + Min 5% as well, but finasteride 0,1% instead of 0.25 as in the study.
We shall seeth.

I had ED and nipple tenderness on oral. Gave up on it within a month and the nipple tenderness went away within days (the ED lingered for a month or 2). Then I tried Morr-F and within minutes the nipple tenderness came back. As I remember, It lasted for at least a day or two, then I quit and it went back to normal.

I'm pretty shocked by the results of this study honestly. It's the complete opposite of what I personally experienced.

There is alpha reductase into the scalp . In fact , Finasteride reduce less DHT scalp than the systemic inhibition ( that is why it sucks )

Anyone else with more time than me want full study? PM me if you need. Please share your analysis with the thread if you can.

I could but I fear if it gets too much traffic I might have issues with my school's paper access system (copyright etc).

Can I buy topical finasteride without a prescription? If not, are there any reputable online sources?
