Rogaine Has Recently Lost Effectiveness in My Crown

Thanks for the great site everyone!

Here are my questions:

I have been on proscar for over 10 years. I have virtually no frontal hair loss, but the crown has been fighting me the whole decade. Rogaine has been great but has lost its effectiveness recently. My crown is not noticeable (mild combover) but it’s thin to me. What is the best option for a guy like me?

I’d like to do an FUE because although I’m not bald, I’m in my mid 30’s and I want to enjoy life. I should mention I have VERY thick hair everywhere else on my head..

Help guys… What do I do?

A good examination is critical to giving you realistic expectations. With lots of hair, crown loss can be transplanted very effectively. For example, I (Dr. Rassman), had 1600 grafts in the crown many years ago.

With regard to Rogaine, it may run out of steam over time. Short of transplants, there is often little that can be done… but definitely maintain your finasteride.
