Regular Member ConorGillen Posted February 29, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted February 29, 2008 Can Rogaine help maintain hair in the frontal regions? Can it help keep keep those hair follicles healthy? I put it on my crown where there is a little bit of thinning, but also put it along my hair line to try and keep those follicles healthy. Thanks.

Regular Member GotHair Posted February 29, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted February 29, 2008 I would be interested to find out too, because I recently just purchased the foam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member notgoing2gobald Posted February 29, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 29, 2008 Rogaine is of primary benefit to the crown -BUT- some individuals (RARELY) do re grow hair on the vertex and hair line. There is a thread by Janna (a tech. for the Shapiro Medical Group) documenting cases of individuals who had SIGNIFICANT hair re growth on the top of their head w/rogaine used in combination w/propecia. which has a synergistic effect. I have seen a couple of cases where guys re grow so much hair that it appears they never had MPB. Keep in mind though, that this is the exception and not the general rule.

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Conor, Welcome to our forum community. Dr. Beehner who is recommended on our online hair transplant community posted a great response to this very question. To read his Q&A blog about this, see Does Propecia and Rogaine treat hair loss in the front of the balding scalp? I encourage members to add their thoughts to this topic.

Regular Member ConorGillen Posted March 2, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2008 Thanks for the responses, but I was asking in Rogaine can "maintain" hair in the frontal region. I have had some loss in the front and was trying to find out if Rogaine can help keep the hair I already have in the front. can it keep those hair follicles healthy?

Senior Member notgoing2gobald Posted March 2, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 2, 2008 the possibility of it maintaining hair is much better than it, re-growing hair in the hair line. Though, still, it is best effective in the crown/yammikah region... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Conor, Yes it can. If Rogaine can help reverse the miniaturization process then it can also help maintain hair. I have found that a Propecia / Rogaine combination is the best overall non-surgical hair loss treatment. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
