Perhaps not the right thread, but thoughts on topical finasteride vs topical RU?Let me share something with you:
if you have a Low budget: RU + E3 topical. Continue finasteride and OM if you are using those. Big 3 is not an option. Microneedlling with minoxidil
A Medium budget: RU higher dosage + Latan + E3 higher dosage topical for regrowth. Duta and OM oral. Add SMI oral if it fits your budget. UT is more affordable than ARV at the correct dose. So I believe it fits in here as a SARD. If you use minoxidil, add tretinoin to accelerate its effect. Buy a D2 with 12 needle heads, it's worse it.
Higher budget: Keep using what you have. Try to experiment with more "exotic" topicals that have high potential (UT, WAY).: Go for expensive stuff at the right dosage. Don't try to cut corners. keep using some proven stuff that don't clash with what you are experimenting with. Have a no regret mindset on what you are trying to achieve.
For all the above, use the right vehicle. Avoid too much DMSO and PG. DMI and Transcutol are much better for the skin. Get a .001g scale or a .0001g one if you can afford it for your topicals and making pills yourself.

Nothing special about those and topical have good results especially if you are sensible to oral Fina and you want to use an AA without doing hrt. RU is weak but some people have sides even on this, so start slow and raise the dosage over 8 weeks to stop/reduce shedding and miniaturisation. You can use either one or both in combo as one is AA the other 5AR inhibitor. I would recommend starting with Fina and see how it pans out. Usually for more aggressive Androgenetic Alopecia you will want to add RU. Or if you have sides with finasteride (which is unusual), RU may be a good solution by itself.Perhaps not the right thread, but thoughts on topical finasteride vs topical RU?
At the dosage we go for, not necessarily. If you observe sides then skip the day you wound your scalp. superficial scaring takes hours to happen so the next day, it is going to be almost the same as no wounding in terms of absorption.Also a problem with microneedling while using topical is the increased absorbtion. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of all topicals? Especially E3/RU
No, for the same reason as what I just wrote. Don't stop microneedling. Just skip the wounding day to apply topical. A day in the 14 day protocol without applying topical is not significant enough to give a reason to stop wounding. That wouldn't justify taking oral Fina that same day neither.I want to try topical finasteride, but I'd have to stop using my D2, not sure if it's worth it
Because it would be premature. Sometimes people think they are getting results after one week. It takes many months to get a somewhat accurate picture.
Thanks so much for the update!Hey all,
Small update:
There are now exactly 40 people who purchased UT-34.
19 people have started dosing and the doses range from 0.1 - 0.5% and the majority of users have been dosing for about 2-3 weeks now.
No one has reported any side effects as of yet.
Whilst some users have mentioned some changes in shedding, it's way to early to determine efficacy.
We've also purity tested UT-34 which came back at 99.2% purity. We got our UT-34 synthesised from Wuhan Pharm (China) and tested at NuMega in California, USA.
