[QUOTE="BillyJ03z, post: 225381, member: 17759"] Ok... so I have tried Empower Pharmacy's LF foam and Hair Restore Ultra.. My DHT starting point baseline in December 21' was [B]882 (ref range: 106.0 - 719.0 pg/mL)[/B]. From December 21' to March 22', I was using LF foam @ .025/ML and in March my DHT lab came back at [B]412[/B]... but I also added 20-30mg Prog Cream to my scalp as well for about 2-3 weeks prior to testing. (During the 2-3 weeks that I added the Prog Cream my nipples became very soar and itchy, so the Prog cream could have possibly increased the DHT serum impact). So because it looked like LF foam was going systemic with DHT being cut by 50%, I switched to Empower Hair Restore Ultra @ .00625%. From March 22' to June 22', I was using Hair Restore Ultra @ .00625/ML (using 2 ML for total of .0125) and my lab test as of June 22' was [B]774, [/B]which is showing minimal/if none at all impact to serum DHT. Results for hair during this time the following happened..... I had thinning in crown which was easily covered by Toppik, but after starting LF foam in Dec 21' the hair that I did have in my crown area seemed to fall out and I could no longer cover with toppik as their was no longer hair to hold onto (seemed to shed/fall out.) After I switched to Hair Restore Ultra in Mar 22', I noticed that in May 22' there seemed to hair regrowing in the crown area, which I attribute to being jumpstarted by LF foam, and I was able to use Toppik again as there was hair for the toppik to hold onto again. This is where I currently am presently. My only concern as of now is that the Hair Restore Ultra is not impacting my DHT serum, which should be a good thing, but it also makes me wonder if the Finasteride is doing anything or it's the minoxidil that is giving temporary appearance of hair growth. The LF foam and Hair Restore Ultra come from Empower Pharmacy dosed at .1% and I cut it down with melted minoxidil foam. I find it hard to apply finasteride liquid as it runs down the scalp and it gets messy, so to get around the liquid mess, I put my dose of the liquid finasteride into a shot glass and then add a couple drops of pure Aloe Vera gel and mix together, which turns it into a thicker liquid substance which I can then scoop with my finger and put it directly onto my scalp without it running all over the place.
