Would a Doctor Prescribe Finasteride to Maintain a NW1 Hairline?

Dr. Rassman,

It seems there are a lot of young men frequenting your site, myself included, that are concerned about hair loss.

My questions is how much recession from a juvenile hair line must occur before hair loss can be diagnosed and a treatment can be issued.

Would a responsible doctor issue finasteride to maintain a Norwood 1 hairline?

Finasteride does not usually bring back frontal hairlines and I do not prescribe it to men who are not balding. Norwood 1 or 2 patterns are not considered balding.
