Rogaine Not Tested on Frontal Hair Loss

• Rogaine, one of two FDA-approved hair loss medications for men, was not tested or studied on men suffering from frontal hair loss. Therefore, its FDA-approval rating only allows for Rogaine to be marketed as a hair loss treatment for men suffering from hair loss in the crown (top) and vortex (rear) regions of the head---the areas in which Rogaine was used in clinical studies.
  
  

Anecdotal Claims for Rogaine's Effectiveness on Frontal Hair Loss

• There are numerous claims and reports from hair loss sufferers, dermatologists and hair loss experts that Rogaine does indeed work on frontal hair loss in certain individuals. Many users with thinning hair or receding hair in the frontal areas of their heads reported an increase in hair growth and density after Rogaine treatment. Many dermatologists and physicians recommend Rogaine as a treatment option for men suffering from frontal hair loss.
  
  

Rogaine Treatment Guidelines

• Rogaine must be used correctly and diligently to maximize its effectiveness. Rogaine must be used daily, and the affected area of frontal hair loss must be thoroughly saturated and covered with the medication. Rogaine must be given adequate time to work before its effectiveness can be assessed. Most physicians, as well as the makers of Rogaine, advocate a trial period of at least three months of use before analyzing whether or not Rogaine is offering any benefit.
