I am assuming you think there are side effects? Here is a very long term study of finesteride vs placebo with higher dose for bph....Table 2 says it all lol, no difference vs placebo... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5241895/

Well finesteride and minoxidil worked really well for me. Stopped further hairless, thickened hair and even decent growth at temples. Only side effect was hair went darker which actually looks worse for me. Oh well will have to dye my full head of hair ;). May get transplant to fully fix up the...

lol.

Because for new drug to go to market it has to be superior to current drug. Topical will be worse as most men a happy with taking pill form and don't have any side effects.

so you are fine with needling your scalp and shoving oil on but not using doctor recommended medicine? XD

are you sure it is that easy to make topical? It has to reach all the way to hair follicle and stay there, I remember Christiano talking about it. Might be better off with injection

black circled eyes also comes from stress and not enough sleep, unlikely to be from minoxidil as you are not applying anywhere near eyes?

These results are better than you guys are giving them credit for, it is close to matching 5% Minoxidil : https://dravram.typepad.com/files/minoxidil-104-week-trial-frontal-and-vertex.pdf In this paper after two years (not 26 weeks!) the much more potent minoxidil only grew 7-10 hairs per cm^2...

A good doctor will be able to tell you, definitely a dermatologist if you can afford it. Search for a nearby one that specialises in hair loss

guys as one of the docs explains during webcast you cant really trust hair count per cm^2 as depending if you measure from center of bald spot vs edge will make a big difference. It is better to use visual and doctor/patient opinion, these are the most honest photos I have seen, no bs lighting...

Yes Aclaris have made the special formulation that can penetrate the skin, will release 6 month Androgenetic Alopecia trial this quarter

I am pretty sure in patents they shove as much stuff as they can get away with, who knows if valproic acid will actually work

If it is testing for follicle neogenesis (new follicles) then theoretically 12 weeks would be enough. I doubt 12 weeks is enough to prove hair growth though but who knows.

They say that it increased non-velus count but give no number, e.g. 5% increase, 10% increase. Also, no photos even after completing trials so I would be skeptical about the whole thing. Also very vague about how it works, mention of WNT, but there are many different types of WNTs etc.
