Problem with topical dutasteride is that it’s a fairly new treatment that hasn’t really been tested compared to topical finasteride. But I guess yeah depends on the person and how they respond.

Really glad I found your channel (just subscribed). Do you notice a difference in efficacy between Ethosomes, Alcohol/ethanol, Propylene Glycol, Liposomes? Anecdotally, have you noticed better results with topical Fin vs Dut? Lastly, would you recommend that a patient apply the topical Fin or Dut at same time as topical Min?

It would be easier to apply both treatments at the same time. The end result won't vary if you apply one first followed by another later.

whats the finasteride topical formula you guys are using? what dosage and if applied twice a day?

60mg Fin added to 60ml Minoxidil, apply twice a day.

A 1% finasteride is 10x more concentrated than 1mg propecia. The lowest optimal dosage is .5% finasteride. Our scripts range from .5-2.5% finasteride with 5% minoxidil. Applied once per day.

What if you have diffused thinning? Do you apply fin everywhere on that scalp?

yes. you should first check if there are other reasons for your diffused thinning (ie: thyroid, hormones etc,,,)

It's been said by some that because topical dutasteride is heavier molecularly, that it will go less systemic, if at all, compared to top fin. Is that plausible?

The heavier molecular weight takes longer for the body to break down. Yes, it is plausible that the dutasteride is less systemic.

Topical Dutasteride has a molecular weight of over 500 daltons, which makes it much more difficult to absorb into the scalp.

Great video, what dosing of topical dutasteride do you recommend for patients and what vehicle, if not using the laser and just a solution?

@forhair

Start with a .25% dutasteride. Lipoderm gel is a great vehicle.

@@forhair I've heard a lower concentration of topical DUT will suffice because the % of lowering scalp DHT will be close to 90% I think it was between 0.1 - 0.2 % topical DUT ?

I have been using XYON 2.5% topical finasteride with 3% minoxidil gel daily for the past 1.5 months. After the first 2 weeks I noticed some sides such as loss of sex interest and more importantly loss of morning erection (which I used to have daily before starting the topical gel). To exclude the psychological effect, I kept using the gel daily hoping things would change if it was only in my head. Unfortunately, It’s still the same sides. My concern is that this 2.5 % is super high dose (=25 mg finasteride on scalp). So even if very little absorbed, say 5% of the 25 mg, it means 1.25 mg goes systemic which is like an oral dose). Any insight or feedback ?! On a side note, not sure if it’s of any relevance, two weeks after starting the gel, I experienced problems in the two arms joints (shoulder and elbows) little pain and stiffness especially at night. This never happened to me before so I wondered if it’s related to the finasteride or it’s just a coincidence!!

Try going as low as .5 % finasteride with 3% minoxidil. There is still a risk of systemic side effects. Other than the loss of morning wood, are you still able to get it up if you try? In regards to joint pain, the is the first reported case that I have come across. Have you changed anything else in your daily routine?

Hair will begin to grow at three months. You then have to wait for the hair to elongate. The transition is gradual and normal not to see noticeable regrowth until the 6 month mark.
