start prp/acell in the office now. at home theradome (see link).

You need a formal evaluation to see what type of hair loss you may have. when you have hairless its best to do a full hormonal workup for internal optimization plus scalp biopsies or scrapings to rule out any stress related, inflammatory, autoimmune or infectious causes of hair loss. In general most people with early hair loss have telogen (stress related) and/or androgenetic (normal aging) and both can be treated with in office treatments like steroid injections, PRP/acell, Exosomes and at home treatments like oral medications, oral vitamins like Viviscal, topical exfoliating sprays like Restorsea, and weekly growth factors like anteagemd.  See an expert for an evaluation. If hair loss is significant it may requires hair transplant (follicular unit translation).

i think you have a nature hair frontline. if we need to make decision accurately have to exam your hairs. your front line levelis normal, your corners are normal if you feel receding, lets evaluate again

From your description there doesn't seem to be any immediate concerns.  Continue to eat a healthy diet and monitor the area.  If changes are noticed, visit with a specialist near you for an evaluation.

Hello,
To protect the hair you can get prp treatment every 2-3 months. If it constinue to receide, you can consider hairtransplant. So far it is early for HT.

Receding hairline is not a hair loss because of ongoing process of androgenetic alopecia but  a simple juvenile type maturing of frontal hair line.  That is seen almost every young boys almost between 16-21 that have a very rounded hairline without recession in the corners.  Recession in the corners is a sign of mature pattern male frontal hair line.
