So You Have a Receding Hairline? Now What?

Losing hair is a shock to men and women. Hair is a major part of how a person looks and how a person feels. Hair loss is, however, natural and everyone experiences hair loss. If your hairline is receding, there may be many causes. It could be genetic or the loss of hair could be caused by a medical condition.

If you'd like to investigate ways to reverse a receding hairline, here are some options.

  • Hair Replacement Systems. This could be a hairpiece, wig, or toupée.
  • Hair Replacement Surgery. A surgeon takes hair from one part of the scalp and transplants it to the parts that are thinning. It's a permanent procedure and the results can be excellent. Today, the procedure usually only requires a local anesthetic.
  • Topical Treatments and Drugs. Certain medications are approved by the FDA and are available by prescription. Many of these can work in certain cases. Popular drugs include Rogaine and Prophecies. Dietary supplements are also available.
  • Laser Therapy. For many patients, treatment with Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been effective. Some studies have shown that 93% of patients who try LLLT experience an increase in terminal (thick) hairs. Laser therapy can take place in a hair replacement clinic or using a device like a laser comb or laser cap.

So there are plenty of options for people who are experiencing thinning hair or a receding hairline.

Once you understand the options, you can take the next step, which is contacting a specialist. Here are some factors to consider when looking for, and choosing, the professional who can help you with a receding hairline.

  • Check the qualifications and certifications.
  • Ask for references and testimonials and look for 'before and after' results.
  • Does the professional have the latest training, techniques, and tools?
  • What are the insurance options?
  • Is the professional being realistic about all the options and the potential results?
