I'm using Minoxidilmax's Essengen 6 plus. It's got 6% min & 0.5% fin per application (1mL). I'm applying Mon, Wed, and Fri once a day for each day.

Good for you. Kind of rare to get rash and itch from oral fin though? Well anyway, hope it works out well for you without any sides.

It's in gel form. Fairly easy to apply. One pump will give you this small amount of gel (about an inch long). It can cover the entire scalp if you apply very small amount for each area. I haven't microneedled for a while. So no, I didn't microneedle while using this topical fin.

Update after 3 weeks of use: So I've been applying Xyon topical finasteride on Mon, Wed, and Fri only. And I can see my nipples have become more pointier and also experienced tingling sensations. I'm also getting aches around the chest area quite frequently. Gynecomastia was and still is my main concern with using finasteride. I had developed very mild gyno symptoms from other brand's topical fin. I decided to give Xyon topical fin a try as it is not suppose to go systemic. Even if it does, only 5% at most as claimed by them. I contacted the doctor who prescribed me the medication. The doc was a little doubtful about my experience as the formulation was known to limit any systemic absorption. He said I can try to reduce the frequency and see if that makes any difference. The sides I felt from Xyon topical fin is stronger than the other brand I tried. With the other brand, I only applied 0.5mg MWF. With Xyon's topical fin, the same application: MWF. But as we know one application of Xyon's is equivalent to 2.5mg hence, much stronger. But since it's not suppose to go systemic, I thought it will be safe. But it is NOT!!!!!! At least for me it isn't! I might try Mon & Thurs only and see what happens. If that still doesn't make much difference, I'll just go back to micro-dosing with the other brands I used before. So that is my update after 3 weeks.

That's what I did. I heard back from them after about a week or 10 days? (not sure) They sent me an invitation email with a form to fill out. I sent the form back with 2 photos and the next day I received an email from the pharmacy for my order. I paid for the order and received it today. It took about 4-5 days for me to receive it. I haven't used it yet. I will start first week in February.

do you rub your scalp with gel for 30-60 seconds like the doctor recommends? I'd rub only a few seconds on each area when using my current topical fin. don't know why it had to be 30-60 seconds long.

So today, I placed the order for Xyon's topical finasteride(Hasson & Wong's)! After I submitted my info I got email back from one of Xyon's dermatologist. I filled out their form with my basic info and was contacted by Curexa pharmacy to place the order for my prescription. I paid $99 and am waiting to receive my order. Right now I am excited but also hoping this is not another product that doesn't live up to the hype. Will Xyon's topical fin really be sides free or at the least sides will be very very minimum? I am not doubting Dr. Hasson or Xyon. I appreciate what they are trying to do. But to be fair, I won't regard their product as some miraculous magic potion as I haven't used it yet. Well I want it to be though. According to the dermatologist I should: apply one pump (1ml) of the gel to the affected area of your scalp each morning. Rub the gel gently into the affected area of your scalp for 30-60 seconds then wash your hands well. But I will use only MWF at first. I want to take this nice and slow. I am currently micro-dosing .05mg on MWF with the topical fin I have right now. Xyon's is 2.5mg per application and I think it is pretty strong. I will monitor and update my progress as I go. My main concern at this point is gyno side. Hope Xyon's topical fin won't give me that.

What kind of sides were you having?

Wow, really? So you had sides from their previous product? Hmmm I am beginning to wonder if their "new" topical fin really can be better than the one you used (only 5% absorption as they claim). I got very interested first, but then after reading your post, I get to wonder if I can really trust their "new" topical fin to be sides free (or close to it)?

It may well be. What I used was .1% dut not .01% mesotherapy. But I wasn't seeing much progress with dut whereas with fin, I did see improvements in relatively short period of time.

That is exactly what I'm doing, but with topical. And I too am going to up the dosage once my body gets use to it but certainly will not use it everyday.

That was what got me attracted to topical dut in the first place. I do believe that logic applies to some but I don't think it applies to all. I'm currently micro dosing with topical fin (.05% MWF). No more topical dut!

So I guess the topical dut is just as systemic? I'm going back to topical fin. Are you going to continue to use topical dut?

You are having sides from dut also? What kind of sides are you having?

So I have been using topical dut from fue clinic since early June this year. I applied 1mL each time twice per week with topical minoxidil. For the past 3 months I haven't felt any sides; I haven't noticed any significant growth either. But in early September, I experimented with this new minoxidil that contains tretinoin. As you know tretinoin is known to help min to be absorbed more effectively into the scalp, hence improves the chance of hair regrowth. But my scalp being very sensitive, the skin started to peel off after several applications of min w/ tretinoin. As a result, my scalp would be red from the "wounds" caused by tretinoin. It would take several days for my scalp to heal completely. I should have waited until my scalp was fully healed before applying topical dut. But to my mistake, I applied topical dut (total 4 ~ 5 times) while my scalp was still fresh with wounds. And after that I began to feel aches in chest, sporadic tingling in nipples, tensions in seminal duct (not groin. had to google search as I wasn't sure the name of the area). So I stopped topical dut & min w/ tretinoin altogether. And for little more than a month, (from mid September to now) I've been applying topical min only. I am thinking those sides were due to applying topical dut when my scalp still wasn't healed from the wounds (from tretinoin), causing dut to go systemic. Or could it be that dut was slowly building up in my system and finally began to show the sides? I've been taking DIM 400mg, Zinc 100mg and vitamin D3. The sides as of now, has gotten better. I am debating if I should go back using topical dut once all sides clear (and NO MORE min w/ tretinoin). Or I should micro dose topical fin instead? I would need to include DHT blocker to my regime eventually. Anyone with similar experience, feel free to chime in. 😉

Tressless

I've been trying to post this on tressless but it kept got removed by the damn admin. This dude had gyno from fin. He had a surgery to remove it. Then he went on to try topical dut. The gyno came back! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB4g22g-lPk&t=8s

As you know the shelf life for topical dut from fue clinic is 90 days @ room temperature and 120 days refrigerated. It's suppose to lose the potency after that, right? Most of us who ordered it already lost 30 days of shelf life in the shipping. I put my topical dut in the fridge right after receiving it. And it should reach the 120 days in about a month. I still have a lot left in the bottle. For those that ordered the topical dut from fue clinic, did you continue to use it after it expired? Did you throw it away?

sorry for multiple posts. couldn't delete the duplicated posts.

no sides no shedding too early to tell if any progress. use it twice per week 1ml each time.

topical fin from minoxidilmax. not sure if liposomal. yes. topical dut from fueclinic

I had decent experience with topical fin. 4-5 months of use, my hair started to thicken and slowly seemed to fill in the bald spots. Too bad I had to stop due to my nipples getting puffy. Currently using topical dut. And yes, I got my topical fin online.

I took Proscar (5mg)before. I would take 1/4 piece (roughly 1.25mg) on Mon, Wed, & Fri as recommended by the Dr. When I took it on an empty stomach, I was dizzy for 3-4 days. Took a while to muster up enough courage to take it again. So took Proscar again but this time, I would take it after a hearty meal. And it seemed to barely keep the dizziness at bay. I didn't like the fact that I had to go thru this much trouble just to take finasteride. So I dropped it. Much later, I found the topical finasteride. And with the topical, no dizziness has ever been experienced.
