By the way im from Europe. well i got a prescription for it. At first the doctor wanted to prescribe 0,25%, based on the new spray device from the 2021 study. But for people that still have some hair and not noticeable bald patches it is a pain to apply with that device and reach the scalp. So i...

Hi, Do anyone here knows for how long (if any study was done more detailed) finasteride applied topically (or even systemically if we can correlate the findings) binds to tissue/5 alpha-reductase enzyme in the follicules supressing DHT locally? I know that orally taken serum half life of...

I bought a recommended topical product by the doctor with Wnt complex, IGF- Like peptides and serenoa repens. It is i believe from a local laboratory. I do a weekly microneedling on the scalp. Do you think i should avoid microneedling on the day i apply that product?

Ok so after another dermatologist appointment he proposed instead of topical a 1mg oral minoxidil per day. Once more Anyone here have experience with oral minoxidil? good, bad or neutral? more or less effective than topical? more or less sides that topical? As i understand minoxidil as...

Thank you Oscar. Would half a pill of 1mg finasteride once a week be a waste of time? I understand that hormonal flutuances should be avoided and maybe once a week would cause that?

fair enough. thanks.

the half life is short right (4h-6h)? But the 5ar inhibition effect seem to last up to 3-4 days is that correct? One of the dermatologists i consulted last month told me they sometimes use a 2 days a week (Tuesday and Friday) protocol of 1mg instead of everyday for people afraid of using it and...

Thank you. Anyone tried alternative protocols of finasteride, be it by doctor prescription or experimental? What i mean is lets say for example 1mg twice a week, 0,5mg three times a week,... As far as i know the lowest mono dose available is 1mg right? and i think cutting it would not be viable...

Hi everyone, Im 35 years old. I´ve been loosing hair (more thinning than shedding) more noticeable the last 3 years. Specially temples and front. There is some thinning at the front but not aggressive. The vertex is ok for now. I would say im II to III in norwood scale. Its not an aggressive...

Jomasi thanks for your comments. I believe the last update from Polichem study was March this year right? at least from clinicaltrials.org. After that no estimation of completion. Seems in standby no? But thats great news if they bring more results and broaden their study. 0.03% its like what...

I believe you guys are refering to this study/paper (attached). The theory/practice seems interesting even if is a short/experimental study. In any case yes Farmacia Parati does galenic formulations by request. Meaning in the concentration you want (or your doctors want/advise). Finally I´ve...

I say this because i used to take ashwagandha for some years and despite its amazing results in what concerns stress management (that i also believe is important in fighting hairloss), im not quite sure it contributed to accelerate hairloss. But it could be just coincidence(!?) Ashwagandha is...

Hi everyone, I would like to ask a question to you all that took or take ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera). Do you guys believe ashwagandha improves, aggravates or its neutral to androgenetic hairloss? I would appreciate your input.

Yes i believe stem cell therapy is gaining a bit of terrain in Europe, particularly Italy. There is some conflicting results, actually if you search around Italian forums like IESON and bellicapelli you can find some cases, also with photos. Basically they punch follicular units from the back of...

does it come with a doser or some kind of guidelines for dosing. Lets say you should apply 1ml...
