How can I reverse hair thinning around my temples? (Photo)

Question

I've been loosing density around my temples and hair feels weaker all around. I've used minoxidil for 2 months but it looks worse, especially my right temple.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

In our practice we do a combination of treatments including PRP and progesterone which give amazing results in combination with rogaine/finesteride and oral nutrients.  Best, Dr. Emer.

You cannot reverse genetic hair loss much like you cannot reverse aging.  You can try minoxidil but it may take over 6 months to see results.

Your biggest enemy is the
progressive thinning leading to a balding pattern that is not evident at this
point in time. The degree of thinning that you are showing in the front would suggest that
you should see a doctor who most likely will get Bulk Measurements of your hair throughout your head to determine the degree of the thinning that you are presently having. If the
diagnosis is early genetic hair loss, then the best treatment would be the drug
finasteride which is highly effective in men of your age and may not only stop
the hair loss but possibly reverse it. If you are developing a more advanced
balding pattern the the best test to get will determine the Bulk Measurements
of your hair and this will show, over a one year time frame, how effective the
treatment will be. Once you know this information, then you and your doctor
need to develop a MASTER PLAN which will define what you need to do over the
years to come. If you are over 25 years old, a hair transplant work well for this problem, but I would try the drug finasteride first for a year as it sometimes reverses it as it did in my son at age 30.
