A member asked:

I have a little thinning area right at my hairline next to my part. has anyone successfully treated this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not reliably: Hair thinning is very common, particularly for men. When it happens as part of getting older, not as part of an illness, there is little that can be done to fully reverse the process. Hair pieces, implants, and rogaine (minoxidil) might help, but cannot turn the clock back fully.
