My Front Is Thinning — The Wonder Potion From the Beauty Supply Store Didn’t Work

Dr. Rassman
At 32 I know what I’m facing down the road. My father is bald. In the last few years I’ve noticed my front starting to thin but considerably much more in the last 6 months. I was using a topical serum called FNS which had little or no effect despite beauty supply stores claims it’s the “wonder potion” for thinning. Recently, I started using Rogaine foam. I’m skeptical of any benefit due to claims it only works on the crown. My next step is Propecia. My question is, is there anything either medication can do to thicken up the front or am I just wasting money. I do plan to get a hair transplant down the road but heard it’s a bit early now due to the fact I’m still losing hair and I should wait until it stabilizes so I’m not playing catch up.

We all want to believe in miracles and hitting the lottery (in this case the hair lottery). It is no surprise that fancy potions did nothing for treating your hair loss other than get some of your money and your pride. You need to see a hair specialist (transplant doctor) to discuss your options and create a Master Plan for your hair restoration process. If you don’t, you will waste more and more of your money… and to compound the problem, lose your hair while you are wasting your money. You have many good questions and concerns that cannot be answered with a simple answer by us on this site. Sometimes I feel like a preacher rather than a doctor with the recommendation that you need to start with a good examination by a competent doctor and get evaluated scientifically. See miniaturization . The Baldingblog shows many people with problems like yours and as you review this site, you will make yourself more informed while you go through the evaluation process.
