Hi Guys,
Some of you might now know me but I have had over 10 FUE surgeries and I am a very old forum member on most forums. First surgery was in 2007. So I have been speaking with Derek quite a bit lately on instagram and telling him about my topical dutasteride use for the past 3 months. In summary it has completed halted my hair loss (I lose 3 hairs in the shower from 50) and this happened just 3 days into using it. I also only apply it once a week (1ml, 1%) to avoid systemic build up. Now here is the interesting part: No side effects. None. Morning wood, no brain fog. Only side effect I have is a little anxiety when waking up the first 2 days after applying it. That's it. I say none because it's only temporary. Bare in mind I had very bad side effects with oral and topical finasteride. Gyno, depression, no erections, etc.. Now... blood work is interesting. It is showing a reduction of 50% on serum DHT. This might explain having no sides. It reduces it but still enough left to function. Scalp DHT reduction is surely above 90%. I get this prescribed by my doctor in Belgium by the way.

Im about to start using topical finasteride but i was gonna use it 3 to 4 times per week. Had Derek said anything about fin. I've seen studies of them using it everyday but I've heard fin stays on your scalp for 30 hours. I am worried about build up so I'll probably do 3 times. Might go on mk 667 for some regrowth
Till the end of 2020

how do you apply it? wet or dry hair?
how long do you let it be on your scalp until you use hair products and style your hair? |

I apply it on dry hair and let is sit overnight on my scalp.
I only apply it once a week or sometimes even every 2 weeks to avoid build up Bottle degrades after 2 months after opening it thus even though I might have some left the hair fall resumes I will go on TRT soon and I am quite scared as my hair looks great. I have some injectable dutasteride and RU standing by if this is not enough With my current homone levels (low T and low free T) this is more than enough. I lose 2-3 hairs in the shower. It used to be 50. But as my T increases I might need to use it 3 times a week or also use RU. |

How do you get these topicals? Dermatologist? Or is it available where you live?

Interested in hearing more on this.. Been holding off on fin due to the sides.
PM ME if I don't catch your @Wood thread

Derek from moreplatesmoredates said the issue however is, that when dht goes so low, testosterone takes over the scalp and will destroy follicles... Was considering trying to make my own fin topical but this makes me think something like RU5841 would be needed.

Ru is sketchy start at a baby low dose for like the first month. Would recommend using a glove when doing it topically. I know Derek says 1ml which id's 50 mg. I would do 0.25ml to start. Anti androgens can increase chance of heart failure. Just careful.
Sides from fin can be mitigated from test Till the end of 2020

Yeah just trying to figure what to add to my oral fin/minoxidil regimen. I do laser but honestly think it's probably bullshit. Derek swears by RU and apparently a lot of people use it without issues... but who knows what long term effects are. He recommends 1ml a day but I definitely agree it's too much to start out in. Dont think it would go systemic from a smaller dose. Will have to look into MK.

Studies on pubmed say that it's a combination of lhrh agonists with anti androgens. That individual treatments do not raise risk for heart disease. |

Just ordered RU that was recommended from moreplatesmoredates. Will start off with smaller amount, apply with gloves, and apply at sides/hairline to see if there are results.

So fair warning. The half life off ru activates when it binds to something like an androgen. It's half life is an hour there is another compound that has a half life off 20 hours it makes up like 0.5 percent so 72 hours to leave your system. But your right the study for heart failure was not only ru but even so careful.
Ru is great if your on steroids because you have extra androgens in your system for ru to bind to if your natty you don't. So def start light your first week even lighter than you think and see your reaction then slowly increase dose till shedding stops. Honestly 10 mgs or less a day might be a good starting dose. I know it doesn't seem like a lot but better to start low see how you react even baby low. If you get heart issues def doctor. If you get any heart issues gw and tb500 has been shown that it can help to repair that but I've never used so going off of other people's statements and some medical studies. Good luck tell me your results. Till the end of 2020

I didn't think the "Get Hung" guide would have girls eyeing my bulge. It did.
I didn't think that your exercise and diet advice would have girls checking me out. It did.
I DEFINITELY didn't think that your hair-loss prevention would fix my hairline. Not in a billion years. It mother fucking did. You saved me a crazy amount of time, a ton of money, unnecessary pain, and destroyed my #1 source of anxiety. DESTROYED IT.
Kratom is next!
To anyone reading this, follow through, read this material, APPLY this material, and enjoy life.
Thanks again Chris, life would suck without you.
