What Is a Receding Hairline?
A receding hairline typically starts with gradual thinning at the temples, often progressing to form an “M” shape. This is one of the earliest signs of male or female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).
Common causes include:
- Genetics and family history
- Hormonal fluctuations (e.g., DHT sensitivity)
- Stress and poor scalp health
- Poor diet and nutrient deficiencies
- Harsh hair treatments or styling
How to Stop a Receding Hairline: Medical and Clinical Options
1. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) in Islamabad
FUE is a minimally invasive procedure that involves extracting individual follicular units from a donor area and implanting them in thinning regions.
Benefits of FUE:
- No linear scar
- Faster healing
- Natural-looking results
- Suitable for advanced hairline recession
Procedure Overview:
- Hair is trimmed to identify viable grafts
- Local anesthesia is administered
- Grafts are extracted and implanted precisely
- Recovery time: 5–7 days
- Full results visible in 9–12 months
Note: Results vary; ethical practices avoid overpromising.
2. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP hair treatment uses your body’s own growth factors to stimulate dormant follicles and support hair regrowth.
PRP Benefits:
- Non-surgical and safe
- Enhances hair thickness
- Often used alongside FUE or medications
- Minimal downtime
Sessions are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance every 4–6 months.
3. Medical Treatments for Hairline Stabilization
Under Dr. Rana Irfan’s supervision, patients may be prescribed evidence-based treatments like:
- Minoxidil (topical): Promotes hair growth and delays further loss
- Finasteride (oral): Reduces DHT levels in eligible male patients
- Hair-supportive supplements: Target nutritional deficiencies
Treatment plans are personalized after a consultation and scalp analysis.
4. Lifestyle and Scalp Health Strategies
In some early cases, supporting hair and scalp health can slow progression:
- Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos
- Avoid tight hairstyles or harsh treatments
- Manage stress through exercise and rest
- Follow a protein- and iron-rich diet
Who Can Benefit from These Treatments?
