Topical Dutasteride Case Assessment Thread
- Thread starter FilthyFrancis
- Start date
Im using 0.1% every other day
Unfortunately it expires or loses it's potency after 4 months (I keep it at 3 months just to be safe)
Vehicle is trichosol which is plant based, no alcohol. This is the best option for diluting dutasteride and what's used by clinics for mesotherapy around the world
Sorry I'm confused now, isn't mesotherapy injected? I thought this was just topical?
Also, what's let to you changing up the dosages so much? I was on page 6-7 of this thread and you were saying 1x weekly and around 80% scalp DHT reduction. Just curious, where does it stand now ?

Wait, do clinics around the world really inject Trichosol into the scalp? That seems.. unlikely.

thanks for the answer tbh i must have the weakness overeactive immune system out there and those kind of perfume give me crazy allergic reaction ( same for stemox).
i'm going to try to stick with it nontheless
Meaning you roll at 2mm and then apply it as you would any other topical?
Yes, but dermapen is better than rolling.
Anything between 2mm and 4mm is considered mesotherapy.
Most clinics in Spain use dermapen. Others inject.
Makes no difference.
In fact, you release more growth factors with dermapen.
Trichosol is just for solubility, plant oil based vehicles are the absolute best for dutasteride solubility
It can also be soluble on ethanol and polyethylene glycol however that would sting like crazy with mesotherapy.

is trichosol also the "best" vehicle for topical finasteride ? thanks
Right, any blood tests I should be doing here? I don't get sides from finasteride/dutasteride, it's just losing it's effectiveness after a few years of maintenance.
Also, are you implying you are rolling between 2-4mm on a daily/semi basis basis? Seems like you could do some damage like that and I don't see how it doesn't go systematic with wounding that deep.
For sure, but surely if I've achieved maintenance with only 50%~ reduction in scalp DHT, prolonged maintenance should be do-able with a higher % of scalp DHT blocked?
As for topical AA's, I'm not willing to go down that path unfortunately, at least until CB is released or prescribed off-label or more data comes out as to why it loses effectiveness after just 6-12 months. I'd rather shave my head or get a well done hair transplant then put pure research chemicals on my scalp. Although I did just order some alfatridiol, which I know is a very weak AA but I guess better then nothing.
CB is safe. It can cause adrenal shutdown but reversible if stopped.
It's FDA approved thus no longer a research chemical.
You just need to make sure to buy it from a trusted source with honest lab work. I send all my stuff to get checked.
Problem is making a bottle with legit CB will go for 250 USD. 100ml, 7.5%
Who is willing to pay that?
It is less than 100 USD a month though for maintaining your hair. Not bad.

I'm not worried about CB itself, i'm worried about exactly what you said, that I'd be buying raw chemicals from China and would require to get it tested on a consistent basis. I'd rather spend the 250 a month and have piece of mind then be smuggling powder into my house monthly and hiding chemicals from my girlfriend lol.
Also, how do you get 100USD? 1 gram on these sites is 100USD. How does that last a month when you need to use 75mg per daily dose?
I am in the process of testing 3 new suppliers. If I find one with 99% purity I will order a batch and re-test. I can then send it to a pharmacy to be compounded or ship you the raw chemical with the lab report. I am not interested in any profit but gathering experiences on it from other forum members
I'm open to this, would it be a bulk buy? Another issue I would have though is how I would get it after. I don't have the tools/knowledge to test this on my own.
