Receding Hairline
100% Online — No Office Visit Required
A receding hairline is typically one of the earliest visible signs of male pattern baldness. It is caused by DHT-sensitive follicles at the temples and frontal hairline.
Overview
A receding hairline occurs when the temporal and frontal hairline begin to move back due to follicular miniaturization. DHT blockers like finasteride are the primary medical treatment.
