Have you recently noticed a receding hairline? For many men, this type of aging is a fact of life. However, you don't have to wait for your hairline to slowly fade away before you get help. We all want to look and feel our best, and today there is plenty of science to help with men who inherit hair loss. Is Minoxidil one of them that can be effective?
What is Minoxidil?
Minoxidil has the distinction of being only over-the-counter medication for hair loss currently approved by the FDA. It's often sold under the brand names Rogaine or Theroxidil. Available as liquid or foam, Minoxidil is believed to promote hair growth by expanding blood vessels and potassium channels. Researches think it may allow hair follicles to receive more of the nutrients they need. These nutrients that make hair stronger, thicker and healthier are delivered to the hair follicles, as well as oxygen and blood.
If you're in the earlier stages of hair loss, Minoxidil may be right for you.
Will it Help Regrow Your Receding Hairline?
Unfortunately, Minoxidil hasn't been proven to restore a receding hairline to a full head of hair. Some people anecdotally say that it has made their hair loss less dramatic and helped with their male-pattern baldness, but you can't regrow a large section of hair using Minoxidil alone.
Results from this treatment can also take a long time to see. It takes about four to six months to see the most improvement, which can be difficult if you're impatient or want to see results more quickly.
Many people, both men, and women, claim that Minoxidil has helped stimulate new hair growth for them. Some men say that it has helped slow their receding hairlines. To continue to see improvement, you must continue to use the treatment every day.
Hair Loss Solutions Besides Minoxidil
There are other solutions to help men with receding hairlines, and many offer quicker and more complete results. You may want to try therapies or crèmes first, although most of our clients discover that a combination of treatments is the most effective solution for their needs.
Laser hair restoration is a popular choice. Low levels of lasers are used to stimulate the scalp and the hair follicles, which can help prevent follicles from going dormant. In combination with hair regrowth formulas used for topical thickening, many of our clients have experienced remarkable hair restoration.
