Topical Finasteride

What is topical finasteride?

Topical applications of finasteride are rapidly gaining popularity as an alternative to the oral finasteride pill. Clinical data indicates that it can be equally effective in treating male pattern hair loss while potentially causing fewer side effects, many of which are sexual in nature. To achieve the full benefits of topical finasteride, it must be applied consistently.

What is Topical Finasteride, with SiloxysSystem™ Gel and how does it work?

XYON Topical Finasteride with SiloxysSystem™ Gel was developed with patient safety and wellness in mind. The SiloxysSystem™ Gel technology combines clinically proven finasteride with a proprietary silicone base for easy and targeted application directly to the regions of the scalp affected by hair loss. Each component of SiloxysSystem™ addresses key challenges facing topical treatments. The nanoparticle technology enhances the penetration of finasteride across the outermost layer of the scalp. Two types of lab-synthesized silicone create a mesh-like matrix that regulates the rate of drug absorption. These gel components optimize finasteride uptake by hair follicles while reducing the amount that passively enters the bloodstream.

The sexual side effects associated with finasteride are thought to result from widespread, systemic drug action.

How can I get topical finasteride?

Topical finasteride is a compounded medication tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient and is only available by prescription from a licensed physician. While oral finasteride is FDA-approved, topical finasteride is currently not approved by the FDA in any concentration. These personalized medications can only be prepared at a compounding pharmacy.

If you are experiencing hair loss, consider discussing with your doctor whether Topical Finasteride with SiloxysSystem™ Gel might be suitable for you.

How much finasteride can a compounded topical formulation contain?

Most topical finasteride formulations typically contain between 0.01% to 1% finasteride by weight (equivalent to 0.10g to 1.0g of finasteride per 100g of compounded medicine). The SiloxysSystem™ Gel functions to slow the penetration of finasteride into the skin, releasing it into the body at a reduced rate. Topical Finasteride, with SiloxysSystem™ Gel, can safely accommodate a higher concentration of finasteride, up to 2.5%, aiming to deliver optimal results with minimal risk of side effects.
