Where do I fall on the Norwood scale? Is it possible to regrow hair on the top thicker with Rogaine and Propecia since the hair

Question

Is it possible to regrow very thin hair with Rogaine and Propecia, also what Norwood am I

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

Based on the photo you provided you appear to be class 5a-6.Rogaine and/or Propecia would be important adjuncts to help prevent further loss.It is unlikely they will significantly thicken the existing hair.

It appears that you are a Norwood 5 but would need more photos to say exactly. Medications can help improve hair thickness and density by approx 10-15%....not enough to make a significant difference in Norwood 5. PRP and transplant would be excellent treatments to correct Norwood 5

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Your pattern of balding will lead to a Class 6 pattern over time. It is worth trying both finasteride and minoxidil but in the long term, you will lose that battle
