Strongly reduced aromatase enzyme activity. Does that mean less side effects from AA?

Topical Finasteride 0.25% decreases scalp DHT by ~71%. That’s pretty good if you consider that I used only 0.05%(5 times less) which inhibits ~52% and I got results.
wow 71%? That's more than oral dutasteride actually. How much DHT does 0.5% decrease?

If you can manage to find a pharmacy to make it for you, it would be great.
Yeah I have 0.5% topical finasteride prescribed. I only need 17a estradiol prescribed too, but it will be easy because my trichologist is good and he will prescribe it to me.

That’s great! I hope you will get 17α too.

WOW. Why do we use oral dutasteride if we have this then? It actually decrease more scalp dht than dutasteride
Topicals can be great. I always believe in topical solutions. Of course, oral+topical seems the best combo for me if someone can handle the side effects.

Also topical finasteride + oral dutasteride would work different.

Check you ACE as well! You know that vasoconstriction can lead to a reduction of your minoxidil efficacy. This test seems to get everything right. As I said, I was amazed when I done this test by the accuracy and what I experienced as well. You need extra vasodilators.

I thought oral minoxidil could handle that. Which vasodilator do you recommend? I think I should add thing slow, otherwise I won't know what is working.

Btw how is your hair loss going? Have you been able to maintain? What is your current regimen?
I lost ground, mate, and I am still losing. A miracle happened and I got pretty good results. I thought like a fool that I would have won some time, but oh my, how fool I was. Balding aggressively it’s horrible… I tried different things. I am trying as much as I can and I will keep trying no matter what! Now, I am trying to get a customised solution according to my Test results. Check here my thread:

I've read it and you didn't get any conclusion. I'm confused in what is your regimen right now. If we have a similar case, why do you think it could work on me? I just don't want to waste time, because time at this moment is crucial.

Oral Finasteride+Topical Finasteride+Topical Minoxidil.

I’m just suggesting according to the test as well. I think they would be good additions to your stack. It’s up to you, though.

I'll do a blood test tomorrow or friday. When I get my results, I'll decide what to do next. Thanks for all the suggestions.
