Physiological Difference Between Crown and Hairline Balding?
Dear Dr. Rassman, My question is regarding the non-approved use of minoxidil for frontal balding. In your response here your thoughts were that it might work to some degree. My question is whether there is a physiological difference between balding at the hairline and on the crown? If not, is there some other reason why minoxidil might be less effective at the hairline, or … [ visit site to read more ]

Hello Dr. Rassman. I got a ht done just under 6 months ago and i’ve noticed that the crown has shown little to no growth while the top front half of my head has shown a significant amount of growth. Could it possibly be the crown is the last place that sees the new hair growth?? the difference between the front and crown is very drastic and...
Hello Doctor, I can’t remember if I asked this already but it didn’t seem to be answered. I was curious if you would characterize the actor Jon Hamm as a textbook NW2? He clearly has a mature hairline at least, but I can’t see any frontal balding. I recently got a hair transplant and I believe my hairline will mimic his, which is...
Hello good doctor I messaged you before and I understand you are busy. I am 22 years old and I have begun to notice a little bit of hair loss. The hair seems to be thinning out. I have started taking 0.5mg of Propecia today, I experienced some side effects with the 1 mg dont know if they were psychological or physiological in nature. My doctor recommended...
Hello Dr. Rassman! I’ve found your blog to be extremely helpful and I’d like to ask you a question: I’m 19 years old, and I’ve noticed thinning at the corners of the hairline, with thinner, shorter hairs, extending (as far as I can tell with close inspection – no microscope available yet unfortunately) about 1.3″...
I’ve been using Minoxidil for a number of years but wasnt sure if it was working. I definitely lost hair in the crown area even though I was using the product so I got hair transplant. I called the makers of Rogaine to see if using the product would be an issue with the transplants and was told it only works for the crown area anyway. With...
Dear Dr., I had a hair transplant (840 3-4 follicular grafts) in February of 2009. The areas treated were the large crown and also throughout the temporal areas. I still do not see a drastic difference. I am not sure why. I am continuously also using Rogaine foam and Propecia. When under any bright lights, I see such thinning as to where the transplant...
Hi Dr. I have a question for you. Why does Rogaine sell a Women’s version, and a Men’s version, Why couldn’t I use the womens version if they have both have minoxodil in them????? Thank you Yes, you could use the “for women” version if you wanted to. Rogaine for Men contains 5% minoxidil, less alcohol and more propylene...
Dear Doc, I’m an 18 year old male and worried that my hairline’s begun to recede. I don’t have any particular family history of balding, both my grandfathers had most of their hair and so does my mother’s brother. Its only my father who is balding (he is 50 and has lost lots of his hair on the top of his head). I’ve...
Hi Doctor, I have written to you before about my hairline; I was about to make my TV debut a year ago and was a little freaked out about my hair. My hairline started maturing when I was about 15 and at age 17 all recession stopped. I had some hairs along the edge and corners of the hairline that I suspected I would lose one day. About 2yrs ago I...
Hi Doc, I have a question I am from India and have been using Dr Reddys Minox 5% but right now I am in United states is it ok if I change into any Local brands out here in the market?Would there be an effect on my hair? I know it sounds crazy but I dont want to take my chance. It doesn’t sound crazy! There should be no difference between the...
