Topical finasteride delivers the DHT-blocking benefits of finasteride directly to the scalp, with potentially reduced systemic absorption compared to the oral formulation.
What Is Topical Finasteride?
Topical finasteride is a compounded formulation applied directly to the scalp. It may produce similar local DHT reduction to oral finasteride but with less systemic conversion — relevant for men concerned about systemic side effects.
