this rated user was using topic of finasteride with Minoxidil to treat his hair loss after only three and a half months he completely reversed his hair loss as you can see by using finasteride topically instead of taking the pill he certainly got incredible results but how did he do it exactly is using topic of finasteride better and safer than oral finasteride in this video I will explain all you need to know about topical finasteride and even how you can start doing it yourself at home so stay until the end of the video to find out first of all if there's already a finasteride pill that people can take to fight their hair loss why would someone use topical finasteride instead well there are two main reasons for that the first reason is the side effects although it is generally very safe to consume oral finasteride gives side effects especially sexual ones to a two percent of the population consuming at two percent is a very low number so you shouldn't be actually afraid of taking the pill and in the worst case that you should experience side effects you can just stop using a pill and the side effect should also disappear but if you're afraid of using the pill in the first case like this really user was and don't even want to try the pill then topical finasteride is for sure a great alternative the second reason is that even if you're taking the pill you won't necessarily stop completely balding that is because tht which is the hormone that causes hair loss in the first place is also produced inside the scope of boiling people so if you take the pill one milligram of finasteride you will likely reduce 70 serum DHT which is the DHT in your blood system but only around 40 percent of your scalp DHT on the other side with topic of finasteride depending on the concentration as we will see in a minute you can reduce the DHT inside your scope by 50 and even more and serum DHT on the other hand by just 25 percent that is good and means that you should actually get better results with less side effects involved okay great so we established that topic of finasteride is if not the same actually a little bit better than orophenasteride but how much should you take of it on the one side you have companies like hymns offering finasteride in a 0.3 solution or the company keeps offering a 0.25 solution okay what they don't explain is what that really means and why is every company offering different percentages don't worry I will explain it to you this is one finasteride pill inside is one milligram of finasteride a 0.3 topic of finasteride solution means that there are three of these pills inside one milliliter of the solution in the other example the 0.25 percent keep solution there would be two and a half pills inside one milliliter if one milliliter is what you apply daily isn't it a lot I mean you're applying like three pills to your scalp whilst with orophenasteride you just take one pill although it may sound like a lot and also more dangerous the amount of topic of finasteride that reaches the bloodstream is very low that's why it is safer than taking the pill okay but these companies offer their Solutions in different concentrations so which one is better for you well this other YouTuber perfect hair health and his team of researchers comp fired information from several studies to see what is the best concentration of topical finasteride by the way this was in my opinion a very good video I will link it down in the description for you and these were the results the best concentration to address hair loss and get rid of 70 percent of scalp DHT is the concentration of 0.25 finasteride per 1 milliliter that's about the same concentration that the company keeps offers so yeah even if they're not sponsoring this video I would recommend using that plant if you want to try it out I personally on the other hand do the topic of finasteride solution myself at home and in case you are interested I'm gonna show you how I do it just a few things first this is for sure not medical advice you should always consult first with your medical professional second I use a much lower concentration of topical Finance right because I'm already taking the pill I use roughly a 0.0 11 concentration which is seven of these pills inside a 60 milliliter solution so the way I do it is I use a typical coffee grinder machine uninsert the seventh finasteride tablets inside then I grind it once that is done you will need a carrier solution the perfect thing for that is just using a regular minoxidil bottle that will work otherwise if you don't want to use Minoxidil at all you could also do the solution yourself by using a 70 ethanol and 30 propylene glycol solution those two ingredients can easily be found on Amazon I add the powder into the solution shake it for 5 minutes and done that's all alright that's all for today's video if you liked it please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel it really means a lot to me until next time I wish you a happy hair Journey uh this [Music]
