does rogaine and propecia work on the frontal hairline?

NO. Some have stated that they thought that it halted or slowed their hairloss however.

 

Chris--it is great that you are researching for a possible procedure but are you aware that you can use the "find" feature to get answers to much of what you are looking for. Hope that helps.

well I have been drenching my front / mid and crown with roagiane. I use a month supply in ten days...I have thousands of vellus hair thickening in my front. Im sure this is not the transplanted hair growing......

I have been using Rogaine for the past three months and have hair in the front where I did not have it before. I am pretty sure it isn't the transplanted hair. I wouldn't say it is strong cosmetically acceptable hair but it is hair. I'm sure it will probably fall out once the Rogaine is stopped.

Are there side effects from rogaine?

 

If you take propecia, every second day, do you think that could possibly still curb hair loss? and also allow you to avoid some of the side effects of the drug?

 

have you seen any cases of people taking propecia and loosing massive amounts of hair? shedding - whatever you call it?

Yes,

 

It can work on the hairline but it generally will be more of a stabilizing effect than regrowth. I did get a little from te propecia.

As far as side effects there are always chances but the percentages are very low.

Yes, shedding is possible as well.

My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor.

Yes, I've seen great results of many to say otherwise. It works better in the mid-scalp to crown, but hairline too. You should take monthly pictures to document. Or, take pics when you're starting out and take pics at every 6 months to see the difference. I think by a year you regrow all the hairs you're going to regrow with the two meds, then it's just for stablizing after that.
