Minoxidil applied topically, but I guess that is goes at least partially systemic

5-getting-close-to-3, and have maintained a full NW2 head of hair since fall 2017
There are other options already available but I believe there’s an actual “cure” due in about 2 years

Any topical spray of finasteride that is not developed in a liposomal manner, may not get through the epidermis of the skin to do any good and if it did, it his likely that it would go systemic
