Hair Restoration Options for Transgender Patients with Male Pattern Hair Loss

I’m 22 and have had receding temples since I was 18. The rest of my head however is full of hair and has always been thick. I’ve recently finished using [tag]Rogaine[/tag] for four months but there isn’t really any difference. This problem has always been frustrating, mainly because I don’t want to stay male forever. I have started going to a gender clinic and will be starting [tag]hormone replacement therapy[/tag] ([tag]HRT[/tag]) a bit later this spring.

I have just started using a hair stimulant from my gender clinic website which contains both [tag]minoxidil[/tag] and female hormones. I spray and rub this formula well into my scalp every night before going to bed for three months.

Would using [tag]Propecia[/tag] in conjunction with this hair stimulant be a good idea and do you know if HRT and the hair stimulant I now use, or HRT alone, would be enough to potentially get my original hairline back?

Unfortunately, today’s medical [tag]hair loss treatments[/tag] are not particularly effective for restoring a receding hairline. Propecia ([tag]finasteride[/tag]) and Rogaine (minoxidil) are known to be more effective on a thinning crown and, even then, they are much more effective at retaining existing hair than [tag]regrowing hair[/tag] on a completely [tag]bald[/tag] area. HRT may reduce the likelihood of future [tag]hair loss[/tag] but will not restore what you’ve already lost.

The most effective means of restoring a hairline is hair transplant surgery. In fact, transgender patients often undergo surgical hair restoration to restore and even create a more feminine hairline.

You may find the examples of hairline restorations on transgender patients below helpful. If you are interested in learning more about hair transplant surgery I recommend consulting with one of our prescreened quality hair restoration physicians.
