Rogaine Foam vs Regular Minoxidil

hI, My hairline started to recede two years ago. My Dr. recommended me Rogaine foam but I’ ve read that it does’ nt work to build or reconstruct the hair line. I do have male pattern baldness. Do you think that with Minoxidil or Rogaine foam I will recover some hair in my hairline. Wich one do you think is better Minoxidil or Rogaine foam?

Are you really talking about frontal balding or the maturing hairline? You are correct in stating that Rogaine is not effective on the hairline. Propecia is also not very effective on the hairline. These medications are effective in slowing down hair loss from genetic balding, not the maturing hairline.

With respect to foam versus the generic solution version of minoxidil, the foam is relatively easier to use and I have been told by other professionals that the foam is possibly more effective because of the delivery mechanism. The foam also produces better compliance amongst its users.
