I've been told by a prominent HT surgeon who is recommended on this site that Rogaine cannot claim to work on any area of the head other than the vertex because the trial study that was submitted to FDA was only done on the vertex. He said that he thinks using it on the hairline is less effective, but still effective.

Makes sense. I may give it a shot unless someone recommends something better.

I was about to purchase Rogaine today, but on the box it states specifically that Rogaine will not work for a receding hairline or the temple / frontal area. My hairloss is a general thinning of the hair on the top and frontal area of my head, and a receding hairline.

So, is it true that Rogaine will only work for the vertex?
