Transitional Zone for Medication’s Effectiveness on the Scalp – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

Hi Dr.Rassman,

I was wondering what is the transitional zone for propecia/rogaine on a scalp for its effectiveness? Since propecia/rogaine works better/only on the back not the front of the scalp? I need to know so I can figure out a masterplan.

Thanks

Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) generally work best on the top crown area. The medications do not work as well (or much of the time at all), on the front of the scalp.

Your doctor should be able to help you create a Master Plan, but I am not sure what you mean by a “transitional zone” on the scalp.
