    Default will minoxidil work on this area of my hair?

    I heard it doesn't work well in the part I circled, is this true or would minoxidil work there? Has anyone had success with regrowth in that similar area?

    Minoxidil works everywhere. It's just that some areas are harder to grow back than others e.g. temples, they are usually first to go because they are really sensitive to androgens. Those hairs in the circle should thicken up.

    This is how your hair has always been in this area, it will not thicken up.

    I suggest you look up body dismorphic disorder on Google.

    It works anywhere, whether or not it will actually work for you is for you to find out.

    However, they is nothing for you to regrow there...

    Because hair loss is destroying his life, just like it is ours.

    Are there guidelines to how much hair you have to lose in order to be a member on the forum?

    on the regaine/rogaine website, it says that it may thicken up those "vellus-type" hairs anywhere on the body

    it was only approved for crown area though due to it's clinical study parameters

    but it is worth a try for a year in those temple points you want thickened

    To answer your question, yes minox can work on temporal peaks. Finasteride works even better. I have personally found that the effect on frontal hair loss is quite understated by most doctors and by the manufacturers of the products themselves. Especially if you have early loss, much of it can be reversible.
