What is the cause of hair loss on both sides of the forehead?

Hair loss on both sides of the temples is a common M-type hair loss, that is, the hair loss phenomenon is a bit like the letter M. The most common factor is androgenic alopecia. At this time, hair loss on both sides of the temples is relatively fast. Some younger people are also prone to this situation. When this happens, general drug treatment is relatively limited, and you must strengthen your daily conditioning. If it is more serious, you can use hair transplantation.

What is the cause of hair loss on both sides of the forehead?

M-shaped and top-of-the-head hair loss are the two most mainstream types of androgenic alopecia. Whether it is a celebrity or an ordinary person, hair loss starts from one of these two parts. For example, Nadal, the sports star who was very popular some time ago, had a receding temple when he was young, which was a very bad sign.

The primary characteristic of frontal hair loss is its rapid onset, with signs usually appearing at the age of 20 to 25. The second characteristic is its rapid spread, which is basically difficult to control. Androgenic alopecia itself is a progressive process, and it takes only half a year from the degeneration of the frontal hair to the formation of an M shape. The third characteristic is that during the degeneration period, the effect of drugs is very small. Let's take a look at the effect of a hair friend's forehead after one year of treatment with Minoxidil:

Hair can indeed grow on the forehead, but it is difficult to grow hair on the temples. The effect of drugs on these temples is basically the limit.

The development trend of hair loss on the top of the head is different from that of hair loss on the frontal side. It usually starts with thinning, so the effects of medication treatment and maintenance are more effective than frontal hair loss. After 11 months of medication treatment, the density of the top of the head of the friend below is obviously much stronger, but it can be seen that the frontal part is still M-shaped, indicating that the effect of medication on frontal hair loss is indeed limited.

How to treat frontal receding?

I have just mentioned that the effect of medication on the temples is very limited. If you want to fill the temples with hair again, the first choice of treatment is hair transplantation. Because the hair follicles close very quickly when the temples move back, and after the scalp is smooth, the only effective way to improve it is hair transplantation. There is no longer a choice between the two. Secondly, from the effect point of view, hair transplantation is usually the most effective for M-type hair loss. More importantly, compared with other serious types of hair loss, hair transplantation at the temples generally requires fewer hair follicles to be transplanted, and the money spent is relatively less, but a perfect lifelong effect can be achieved, which is very cost-effective.
