I have read that propecia and rogaine do not grow back hair in the frontal regions of the head, but do the help in preventing hairloss in this area?

Matt1919,

I started a topic in the Hair Loss Drug section titled: One year effects of propecia and rogaine, you can clearly see the positive effects of the two meds in the front as well as the top and crown.

Matt,

Welcome to our forum community.

Yes, it is possible that Propecia and Rogaine can help regrow hair in the frontal area, but it is not a definite.

I have created a hair loss Q&A blog out of the post Janna is referring to. You can read it here: One year effects of Propecia and Rogaine.

Best wishes,

Bill
