Hi Dr. Rassman,
Assuming that Rogaine does work the same throughout your scalp, do you think Rogaine will be able to bring forward a maturing hairline? In other words, does a maturing hairline work in the same way MPB does through DHT? Or is a maturing hairline just programmed follicular apoptosis that wouldn’t respond to minoxidil in the same way that miniaturizing hairs would? Thanks.
Rogaine (minoxidil) is not a DHT blocker and only works as a side effect to grow hair. I am virtually 100% positive that Rogaine will not restore your juvenile hairline.
