Propecia for Frontal hair loss

[seraphix]

Thanks for the response Dr Arocha,

Am I right to assume that if propecia stops or slows down AGA, it means the hair line can be preserved. How do you find people cope with side effects in the long term?

Hello there tarapuneet,

To the very best of my knowledge, Propecia is available only thru a prescription from a doctor. I believe the Hasson & Wong clinic is in Canada, and they are IAHRS doctors, so, check them out to see if they are in your local area. They can prescribe Propecia for you, and you may even be able to get Propecia from their office, similar to how I order mine from my IAHRS doctor in Los Angeles. Check out the IAHRS website to find Hasson & Wong or potential other IAHRS doctors that can help you. http://www.iahrs.org

You can also see any dermatologist and ask him/her for a prescription for Propecia.

Good Luck!

TeeJay

How does propecia know what areas of the body to focus on (there are many hairy areas on a male body)? Does it?

If it works mainly on the crown, would it be a good idea using rogaine for the temples in combination?

This is a great question.

I've been on Propecia for almost 1 year, no side effects. It's helped maintained my hair, and, odd as it may sound, I got a little bit of regrowth in my temple regions at about the 3 month mark. I do believe there are many instances of hair maintenance and hair regrowth in regions OTHER than the crown (which is what Propecia is known for). So, I believe it can help you maintain hair throughout your scalp, not only the crown. Regrowth, I believe, is more likely to occur in the crown area.

Anxious to hear other responses.

Cheers TeeJay,

It's good that you had regrowth on the temples I'm hoping to maintain my hair with propecia and any regrowth will be bonus. Look forward to hear other responses.

Hi everyone,

I have been on propecia for about 8 weeks now, so far so good I guess, no sides. Has anyone here experienced regrowth for the frontal scalp or hair line? Does propcecia help preserve frontal hair or is it only for crown?

Thanks,
