Won't help: Rogaine (minoxidil) works on the crown of your head balding and not for frontal area. Prp injections are showing great hope for hair regrowth.

Rogaine (minoxidil): Rogaine (minoxidil) is a helpful treatment for male pattern baldness. It works better on hair loss on the crown of your scalp but is the best available otc medication for hair los.

Treat your hairline: Even though rogaine/minoxidil is not FDA-approved for hair regrowth in the hairline, it's possible to see some improvement. The improvement you get will depend on the amount of weak hair in the area. Dead is dead, gone is gone. But if the hair follicle is alive, there's a chance minox, laser or prp will help. Otherwise, a transplant is your only option. Try Formula 82M minox to avoid side effects.
