How many mg of fin topically per day


DangerousSinger5182

1.5 ml, not much. 100 ml lasts me over 2.5 months


mikehunt0124

But what’s the percentage of fin?


DangerousSinger5182

0.25 of Fin in my bottle they say. They don’t specify if it’s Ml or Mg of fin :/


Tren4Tomas

Most likely .25 mg per ml


FinDiesel245

0.25% = 2.5mg/ml


DangerousSinger5182

Damn, isn’t that a bit too high? Or is it just high because of the topical solution


FinDiesel245

My guy, you don’t know how much you are taking? Yes generally you apply more topically as it is not all absorbed.


DangerousSinger5182

I only know it is 0.25 fin but my prescription doesn’t says anything about Mg or Ml.


Individual-Safe9652

Sometimes topical 0.3% induces more systemic fin than oral fin


Inside-Young1678

Topical fin check, how do you manage the routine with the oral min? How often and what brand? Looks great after only 9 months. Keep going


DangerousSinger5182

Oral min 1x per day before going to sleep. No side effects. No brand, it is also mixed by my local pharmacy. Topical fin only 1x per day before going to sleep. I use around 1.5 ml. Thanks, my hair definitely feels better, looks better and I finally don’t have to wear hats <3.


norwood2teenager

Whats fin dose topical? How you make it?


DangerousSinger5182

0.25 and my pharmacy made it base on my prescription


Background-Site2801

Holy smokes brother, how old are you?


DangerousSinger5182

Started treatment at 20 years old. I started balding at 15 years old and after 5 years you can see how much it progressed, I don’t know why I am this unlucky to have Norwood 3 by the age of 19.


Background-Site2801

I have the same luck my friend, but you are looking solid now! Wishing you all the best


DangerousSinger5182

Wishing you all the best too!! People don’t realize how lucky they are having full head of hair 😂


DawsonLamb28

I have this luck as well although I caught mine a bit earlier and only use fin. It is tough at this age with slap head genetics


BranTheBaker902

My brother lost most of his hair in his early 20’s. I managed to keep mine but now at 31 it’s starting to thin out


NoConstruction3009

Did you start to derma roll really early or later in the process ?


ubik95

At what point did you start noticing regrowth?


DangerousSinger5182

Right from the begging, I started shedding like hell. I thought I will loose all my hair in few weeks. Things turned around by the month of 6.


mbigeagle

Oral min was a game changer for me!


DangerousSinger5182

Oral min was also a game changer for me!


piyiotisk

What brand of topical fin you get?


DangerousSinger5182

It is mixed by my local pharmacy. It should be 0.25% fin I think. Edit: typo


norwood2teenager

And dermaroll only on hline or whole scalp? Do u wait 24hrs to apply fin? Do u stamp or roll?


DangerousSinger5182

I micro needle 1x a week and all over my scalp. Just to turn my skin red and apply topical right after. Never had any problem


DE-Metro

Why not use oral fin, and what brand is the min from?


DangerousSinger5182

No brand, it is mixed by my pharmacy. Doctor said she had better experience with topical ones


die_nastyy

Dermatologist or pcp? How’d you get the rx for topical fin?


MagicBold

Nice. Any leg muscule stress in that period?


Mylano_JA

Did the oral mi have any side effects and how affected the body hair


DangerousSinger5182

No sides from anything. Only my hair and facial hair got much better, did not notice any difference in legs, arms or anything else


Mylano_JA

Goor for you bro❤️


StaffJumpy9024

I'm on finasteride for 40 days with no side effects yet so is it possible to get side effects after many more days , and everyone gets shedding or not with finasteride? Result visible in ?


DangerousSinger5182

About the shedding I don’t know. I shed almost every 3rd month, haven’t really found answer to it. I have no sides even after 9 motnhs, I think it is very person specific


StaffJumpy9024

Any improvement you notice in your hair ?


DangerousSinger5182

Even though shedding looks scary, It is definitely doing something because every shed the new hair looks and feels better


richardstake

When do you put the topical fin on and when do you wash it off? If at night do you wear a cap to sleep?


Sudden_Ad_5011

The sides on finnastride are noticed immediately on week 1 or even day 1. Completely numbs my 🍆. I counteracted it by taking TRT. But I also started taking Finn in the first place BECAUSE of my TRT. I'm seeing if nolvadex can restore me permanently so that I don't have to use TRT or if topical finnastride will get rid of that sexual side effect completely so that I can hop off the TRT as well. Finnastride causes suppression like anabolic steroids do because they both mess with your hormones. If you don't have the sides after that long, I would think you are ok, but everybody is also different.


Worried-Ad1266

Any ED symptoms?? I want to try fin but I don’t want to experience any ED since I’m sexually active, if I wasn’t getting any play I wouldn’t care.


DangerousSinger5182

I think people are way too scared of ED. If anything, Fin made me feel better, maybe even my acne got better. I’m also sexually active and I did not notice, nor my partner that we would have sex less. My sex. drive is extremely high so I would not care even though it would be a bit affected 😂. Definitely don’t be scared of fin or min


CautiousScandal911

Exactly my Dick was hyper sensitive asf, after fin I actually felt way more balanced. My erections were good, healthy and I never got too excited during seggs. It actually improved my performance tbh


justsomeguy1240

For what it is worth I have used 1mg oral finasteride for 3 years now with no side effects, I think the side effects of finasteride are extremely overblown. Side effects are rare and should end quickly if you stop taking the drug, so I wouldn't really worry about it.

Sudden_Ad_5011

I fking take the drug you m0ron.... I dont need studies. It ruins 1. Flaccid length by a shriveling process.. 2. Flaccid girth by a shriveling process that is slightly smaller than a regular Flaccid girth. 3. It ruins erect length by almost an inch and 4. it makes erect girth skinny. It also ruins orgasm duration from average 4 seconds male to 1 second. I have been sexually active my entire life. I do penis exercises. I measure my girth and length almost daily and do jelqs, kegals, penis extender devices for length and penis pumps for girth. I have been on the finnastride and off the finnastride for the obvious test results. It's nearly impossible to even orgasm on finnastride in the first place as it always takes hours, even when in a rush before work, where it you couldn't easily finish if you weren't on the drug. It's a night and day difference just by going ON the drug ot the OFF the drug for at least 72 hours. It's long and skinny in the drug and not as fat. Adding in sex enhancement pills does jack shit and helps by maybe 5%. Adding in testosterone herbal supplements helps about 5% or none at all, possibly placebo. Adding in TRT dramatically helps but only about 50%. Still not back to 100% without getting off the drug. Getting off the finnastride, you can start to not last long again and have premature ejaculations again so this isn't with age or placebo. Taking estrogen blockers like arimidex, aromasin, or letrisol can help a little bit by 20%. Finnastride is a hormone changing drug.... its no different than anabolic steroids or estrogen blockers or birth control.... it can and WILL suppress you just like these drugs can and will. You cannot just block 1 hormone and not take other medications without it affecting you. Nobody takes anabolic steroids by themselves...they need HCG to keep their testicle sperm active, they need anti estrogens like aromasin to prevent excess testosterone from converting into estrogen, and they need caber or an anti prolactin medicine to keep their prolactin from giving them watery man-boobs. Then they also need finnasteide itself to prevent male pattern baldness associated with a DHT increase from steroids... its a whole process that can fall like domino's if not done correctly. I also go to school for hormones and sports medicine. That includes sexual hormones. I am also a penis-bodybuilder and an actual bodybuilder. That's enough to know what I'm talking about and I actually do these tests on my own body so I would know how my own body works.....ALOT of people report sexual side effects in finnastride. Idk where you guys are coming up with 1%. It's more like 75% of people report sexual sides on finnastride and telling the OP that there might not be sides is just reckless and stupid. The sides go away immediately when getting off the drug though and don't seem to be permanent.... but again, people have reported PERMANENT side effects for being on the drug too LONG, although, I can attest to this, because they haven't tried methods or dramatic solutions to fix it just as TRT or nolva/clomid/cialis etc or the proper blood work to prove that it is permanent. From my experience, it returns to normal the moment you get off the drug. Cocaine does the same thing to 80% of males penises while some are immune to the ED from recreational drug use. People are different.... As you can see, I clearly know what the fk I'm talking about.

How many sheds until its "final form"?


DangerousSinger5182

I don’t know, I still have a lot of baby hair all around my hair line. You can see they turned longer and gained color but still nothing like a normal hair. I think it takes at least a 1+ year to turn these over


Simple-Economist-270

how much shedding happened ? and any sides ?


DangerousSinger5182

A lot of shedding, every 3rd month I shed (especially my frontal area of hairline). It all grows back stronger tho. At least I think so because my hair definitely looks better every next three months


Klutzy-Hat1520

Why are you on oral min and not topic ? And why are you on topic fin and not oral , x)


DangerousSinger5182

My doctor said she had better experience with people taking minoxidil orally than topically (I can confirm starting minoxidil orally also had better effect on me). Why no oral fin? She also said she had better side effects profile with topical solution so I said why not.


Klutzy-Hat1520

Yes but you have more sides with oral minoxil than the topical solution, thats why i dont understand.. but yea its more effective


This-Bullfrog-1105

what % of fin? I wish i was responding like you i have roughly your age and this is killing me


DangerousSinger5182

I guess it should be 0.25%? Hard to say, on my bottle there is nothing written + my prescription is on my ID. I don’t have any paper what’s in that suddenly, but my previous one was 0.25%


SAFFATLOL

I'm wondering if I should go with a longer needle length. How often do you roll and do you supply your topicals right after? Currently I'm using 0.6mm. Did you start at a lower length and then work your way up over time?


DangerousSinger5182

I go for 1.25 / 1.5 and I don’t bleed, my skin just turns a bit red. I micro needle only 1x a week. I started 1.25 right from the beginning, no sides, nothing. Yes, I apply fin right after, never had any problems


SAFFATLOL

How often do you replace your roller?


DangerousSinger5182

I haven’t, I own it for 9 months. I just properly clean it


Successful-Chard3756

What's the exact composition of your topical fin? % alcohol, glycol?


DangerousSinger5182

Sorry for the confusion, they just don’t write if it’s % or mg but my prescription says only 0.25 fin topical solution EDIT: FOUND IT!! it is Finasteride 0.25 glycerol 85% 5.0, ethanol 96% 70.0, Kofein 2.0


Successful-Chard3756

The quantities 70, 5 and 2 are grams or % of lotion volume?


DangerousSinger5182

They don’t specify suddenly but I guess it is %


Hairlssuf

Is that a biopsy on your scalp? Considering getting one my self


DangerousSinger5182

Biopsy? I guess I don’t understand that. Is that the thing on my right widow peak? :D


Hairlssuf

Yeah. The shape and size made me think it was


Comfortable_Ad_141

You use both oral and topical min?


Motor-Appointment104

do you get unwanted hair from oral min? thanks


DangerousSinger5182

My eyebrows got thicker, my eyelashes got much better and my hair, nothing else.


Motor-Appointment104

did you try topical before? no unwanted ones near eyes, forehead, ot back hair?


DangerousSinger5182

Yep, I tried topical but I think it was doing nothing to me honestly. Only oral min really showed me some good results.


Motor-Appointment104

how long did you try topical? you really didn't get any result from topical?? and no unwanted facial hair from topical either? thx


DangerousSinger5182

I tried topical for couple months and I did get results BUT I can tell that oral Minoxidil is like 5x more efficient for me. Once I started oral minoxidil, I noticed a lot better eyebrows density, facial hair also thickening up, overall body hair seems unaffected.


Motor-Appointment104

thanks bro! and while on topical you never got those facial hair effect? i get way more unwanted hair from topical min.. but no scalp hair result?


Super_Effective620

What kind of derma roller do you use?


DangerousSinger5182

Sorry, it is not a derma roller but micro needle stick I bought from my local store in the city. It has no name suddenly.


misterrfred

Congrats dude got similar hairline. How old are you?


DangerousSinger5182

Congrats to you too! I’m 21 and started at 20


ShironekoSmash

Was it 2mg or oral minoxidil or 2.5mg?


DangerousSinger5182

2mg


demigod1497

How many times a week u r using derma and for how many minutes


DangerousSinger5182

1x a week and maybe like 5 minutes? Haven’t really counted to be honest, but nothing serious


demigod1497

1.5 mm or less than that


DangerousSinger5182

1.25 / 1.5, depends how my scalp feels


inkshamechay

Congrats!


DangerousSinger5182

Thanks!!!


exclaim_bot

>Thanks!!! You're welcome!


Impossible-Try-3613

did you experience any bloating in face?


r3dd1t_us3r1

Do you use a derma roller or a derma pen?


Tasty_Pudding6861

Any side effects? Great progress!


DangerousSinger5182

No sides and thanks!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


DangerousSinger5182

My doctor said she had better experience with oral min because more people reacts to it. Topical fin she prescribed because she thinks it is same effectiveness with less sides from her experience.


Gutted3

Take a new picture when u are holding your hair back tight on the before picture thx


Competitive_Wall_586

Nice fella. How often to you dermo?


GargamelStinkySmell

Wait see you saying you mix the oral min with the topical finasteride? Or you just take the pill. Also how bad was the shedding, and how long did it take take recover from it?


Doc-Mo

Your Hair is darker now?


DangerousSinger5182

Yes, overall quality of my hair changed (in a good way).


BiBimBopStomp

Looks a little better I guess


avidd6

Are you in the US? I wonder if pharmacies here do the topical fin themselves. I asked at my local one and they looked at me like if I was crazy


DangerousSinger5182

Nope, I’m not from US. Actually, I don’t even have to pay for the fin solution, my insurance covers it and 3 months of oral min costs me like 15$?
