Would Minoxidil Be Helpful for the Frontal Hairline?
I am in the very early phases of hair-loss i.e. slight recession at the temples and general shedding. I was wondering whether topical minoxidil may help me.
Regards
Many people confuse the term “temples” with what is actually the corners of the frontal hairline, so I’m going to assume that is what you mean since you said it was an early phase of hair loss.
Minoxidil most likely will not impact the receding hairline, but finasteride (Propecia) can halt the progressive loss in young men and in rare instances show benefits to the hairline. Talk to your doctor about a prescription.
I am using rogaine 2x a day (foam in the morning, liquid at night) and finasteride 1.25mg every other day, and I am seeing considerable regrowth at the corners of my hairline (what you refer to as the “temples”). I have been using these products for just under three months. I began seeing noticeable regrowth at the hairline at the two month mark.
My hair is considerably thicker and fuller since using these two products and my hairline has improved. With no side effects. In under three months.
I am very happy with these products and my results. And I would like to thank Dr. Rassman’s friend Dr. Robert Bernstein in NY for giving me the straight talk on my hair loss during my consultation with him over the past summer. It is so important to talk to a real professional about hairloss if you are serious about addressing the problem.
You have a good chance to improve your situation if you use the FDA approved medications available today. And recent developments in ACell’s regenerative technology give us all even more hope.
FUT transplant to the hairline/front third of the head + ACell plucked hair transplant to the vertex/crown area + the use of minoxidil and finasteride to slow down or stop further hairloss = A CURE FOR HAIRLOSS.
From a cosmetic perspective, I believe we already have the cure for this condition. We are very lucky! God Bless 2010!
