Topical Dutasteride Recommended doses and concentrations with microneedling?

I’ve been scouring the internet and it seems really difficult to find an authoritative or even scientific source on how much topical dutasteride (e.g. 1ml) at what concentration (e.g. 0.1%) at what frequency (e.g. 2x a week) should be applied.

Does anyone have access to this study? It’s legitimately the only one I could find on topical dutasteride + microneedling: Microneedling plus topical dutasteride solution for androgenetic alopecia: a randomized placebo-controlled study - PubMed**

Elsewhere on the internet I was able to find a description of the findings within the study, but it lacks detail: “A recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the use of microneedling with topical 0.01% solution dutasteride compared with saline solution over a 20-week period in men with AGA. This study found that microneedling with dutasteride produced a greater overall change in hair thickness, hair density, and ratio of vellus hair/terminal hair. Researchers concluded that microneedling with topical dutasteride was an effective therapy for AGA and further research should include follow-up studies to establish the persistence of treatment efficacy over the long-term“

I use oral dutasteride with no sides as of yet (taking it for exactly a month) and if you have no side effects, you may try the same under a doctor’s guidance. Topical dutasteride for me is a bit of bullshit due to absorption issues.

The 500 Dalton rule is not a hard rule, you still get absorption at around 50% for molecules around 500 daltons like dutasteride.

I have access. Send me a DM and I’ll send it to you.
