I have studied the norwood scale and have established that i am btween stages 2 and three - intial stages of rhair loss.
Reading through your articles , I have noted that propecia has limited results in treating hair loss towards the front of the head. are there any treatments which you have known to be effective in treating the front of the head?
many thanks
Men who think that they are balding may actually just be undergoing a change from a childhood hairline into an adult hairline. Many people who think that they are balding don’t realize that the Norwood Class 2 pattern is normal. For some people, the early part of the Norwood 4 may not even be balding at all. Get a good doctor and get yourself checked out for miniaturization before you obsess into believing that you are going bald.

I have noticed in the last couple of months that my hair is thinning on the very corners of the frontal region (above the temples) and a centimeter or two into the mid-scalp anterior. Although the loss is minimal at the moment it concerns me as I am only 25. I have started on a regimen of propecia 1mg, Laser comb, and a snake oil treatment that I bought just to cover all the bases. I understand that since minoxidil was only tested on the crown and vertex of the head it is only able to claim hair regowth in those areas…however would it be beneficial for me to begin this treatment also? And i also need to ask if I am overdoing the treatments…can all of these things be used together safely and effectively?
