Will Propecia Thicken the Hairline?
I’m 25 years of age with miniaturization all around the hairline (about 2-3 cm deep) especially in the area above the temples. I would estimate in this area I’ve lost about 50 – 60% of density in the last 3 years. I also have some vertex thinning but it’s in an early stage so it isn’t obvious but it is definitely thinner. I’ve been on propecia for 7 months now. My question is if propecia is effective for me is it likely that the already thinned area in the front will continue to thin while the areas behind remain strong as they haven’t yet been impacted my MPB? Is there a possibility I could have a solid, healthy hairline just receded more after the thin areas are gone? Or do you think my hairline will continue to be thinner the mid scalp?
Please send photos so I can see you; make sure the photos show with your eyebrows lifted high as you frown. Get good frontal and side pictures and send them to the address on the Contact page.
Propecia can slow hair loss, but usually will not reverse frontal hairline loss. It probably will fill in the crown, but by now you should have seen a gain as you have been on the drug for 7 months. What I am particularly concerned about is the difference between a mature male hairline and balding, so the photos will help me make that distinction. This is critical, because you do not want to undo a mature male hairline with hair transplants if that is all that is happening in the front.
