    The FDA approved medications for treating hereditary hair loss in males are most effective in the vertex and mid-anterior areas. Males are genetically programmed to loose their temple hair and develop an adult mature male hair line. Some males are able to regrow some of their hair line and temple hair with medications but most males cannot. It is possible that you can make the problem worse, if you stop using the medicine abruptly. However, If you do not have thinning in your vertex and/or mid-anterior areas, Rogaine is not likely to be appropriate for you.

    Dr, Bauman in Florida has experimented with Latisse/Lumigan (bimatoprost 0.3&#37 in the temples and hair line of some willing patients. Some of those young men did regrow some of their temple hair. At this time it is not known if this off-label use of this medication is any more effective than Rogaine.

    You keep repeating this. Could you refer us to a more in-depth read?

    Literally every competent hair restoration doctor is very well aware of this. Many of whom have mentioned it on multiple occasions and in multiple threads throughout this forum. It has been talked about during the broadcast, even as recently as last week. You can open up any high school year book and see it. You go walking around out and about in the real world and see it everywhere around you... Do you actually need to be able to read about it - in depth?

    OK one last question. If I only apply rogaine to the vertex and mid anterior areas would any of its effects shedding/growth migrate to areas where it is not applied such as the hairline or temples.

    It can happen. It probably won't but it can happen. If you do not have thinning in your vertex or mid-anterior, Rogaine is not appropriate for you.

    The big question here is: The medication didn't work for you, but did you experience the shedding that goes together with it and if so did it grow back again?

    Maybe Tracy can give more details here too.

    No, within 4-6 weeks of using it I had rapid hairline loss and no regrowth 14 months later.

    Does that mean you used it for receding hairline and not for temple hair loss?

    I'm starting to use it on Monday and was just wondering what would be the consequences if I'm not one of the lucky ones to experience the regrowth after the 4-6 months.

    PS. It's important to note that a there would be some hair loss during the 14 months you've used it which may be the "rapid" loss you're talking about. Basically I'm trying to say that maybe it was just at the point it would have been if the treatment hasn't started at all. I'm not trying to defend it, merely trying to make sure you're taking these details into consideration.

    Yeah I used and still use it on hairline and temples.

    I hear what you're saying, my hairloss has been very slow over a long period. As soon as I started Minox foam it accelerated very quickly. Too much of a coincidence for
    me..
