Cómo detener el retroceso del cabello

Maybe your hairline’s started to recede into a widow’s peak. Or maybe your normal hairline has started to transform into an M, U, or V. Or maybe you just could have sworn your forehead used to be smaller. One thing’s for sure – your hairline’s receding, and it’s receding fast.

What now? What are your options for how to stop a receding hairline?

A receding hairline, or a hairline that gradually moves further up your head over time, is a common early sign of male pattern baldness. Without treatment, your hairline will likely continue to recede in a predictable pattern – first along the hairline, then thinning at the crown until a bald patch emerges and a thin band of hair is left around the base of the scalp.

The good news? It IS possible to stop your receding hairline – and to slow or even reverse the progression of male pattern baldness altogether. Bosley offers surgical and non-surgical hair loss solutions – and they’re most effective at the early stages of hair loss, when your hairline has just started to recede.

Read on to learn about the top ways to stop your receding hairline and get your real hair back.

Cómo detener el retroceso de cabello

The best way to stop a receding hairline depends on your personal hair loss goals and the current state of your hair loss. Book a free consultation with a hair restoration expert to better understand the cause of your hair loss and to develop a personalized treatment plan.

If you’re interested in slowing or stopping the existing hair loss on your receding hairline, a prescription medication might be your answer.

If you want a permanent solution that reverses the recession and restores your former hairline, consider a hair transplant procedure from one of Bosley’s experienced hair transplant physicians. The results are natural-looking, and the procedure itself is virtually undetectable because we graft and transplant your own healthy hair. No one will know you got a hair transplant unless you tell them!

Best Hair Loss Solution for a Receding Hairline: A Hair Transplant

A Bosley hair transplant is the proven, permanent solution to genetic hair loss. This simple outpatient procedure takes hair follicles from healthy parts of your scalp and moves them to balding or thinning areas. Our physicians perform either a follicular unit extraction (FUE) or a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) procedure, based on your existing hair loss and your desired results. With a hair transplant, it’s possible to restore your former hairline with your own real hair.

Hair Loss Medications for Receding Hairlines

Finasteride

Finasteride slows or stops the effects of the DHT hormone, which is primarily responsible for hair loss around the hairline. When used consistently and as directed, finasteride can help you slow recession and keep the hair you still have around your hairline, but it won’t bring back hair you’ve already lost. Finasteride is a prescription hair loss medication available on BosleyRx.com.

 Minoxidil

Minoxidil is a well-known product that can help reduce the rate of hair loss. It can be effective for thinning hair on the top-back part of the scalp known as the vertex, slowing down or inhibiting the process. It can also help slow hair loss at the hairline. BosleyMD Minoxidil is available in three formats — drops, spray and foam — in varying strengths so you can choose the application method that’s right for you.

Red Light Therapy

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) products have also demonstrated success in promoting hair growth and can help stop receding hairline hair loss. Laser energy stimulates the scalp at the follicle, which can increase blood flow and circulation. This process revitalizes the follicle and strengthens hair.

The Bosley Revitalizer Flex is a laser cap that utilizes clinically proven technology to grow thicker, fuller hair. Each cap features soft-flex technology for a comfortable fit and dual treatment modes — allowing you to choose the treatment that works best for your schedule. It only requires 8 minutes every day or 30 minutes every other day.

Micropigmentación del cuero cabelludo

Scalp micropigmentation (also known as SMP) is a nonsurgical treatment that’s suitable for all types of hair loss, including receding hairlines. By applying a proprietary pigment to the scalp with a special microfine needle, technicians are able to create thousands of tiny impressions that give the appearance of fuller hair and a lower hairline — all without the need for surgery.

 Lifestyle Changes for Receding Hairlines

Además de las opciones quirúrgicas y no quirúrgicas enumeradas anteriormente, existen varios cambios en el estilo de vida que le ayudarán a conseguir los mejores resultados posibles. Cuando combinas hábitos saludables con técnicas de restauración capilar avaladas científicamente, es posible frenar en seco el retroceso de las entradas. 

• Eat a Healthy Diet
  Help hair growth by eating hair-friendly foods (such as protein-rich foods and leafy greens) and adding more vitamins and minerals to your diet. Vitamin A and B12 play a crucial role in hair health, as does zinc. 
• Manage Stress
  Stress has a lot of negative effects on our bodies, but many people don’t know that it can also lead to hair loss. Engaging in regular exercise, practicing mindfulness, and getting enough sleep are all ways that you can reduce your stress levels. 
• Stop Smoking
  In addition to other health risks, smoking can affect your hair’s growth cycle and speed up the hair loss process. It also adds strain on our body’s core functions by causing vasoconstriction (the narrowing or constriction of blood vessels by small muscles in their walls), which can lead to higher risk of hair loss and thinning hair. 
• Try a New Hairstyle
  Certain hairstyles don’t just cover up hair loss, they can actually help prevent hair loss in the first place. Avoid styling your hair too tightly or using harsh products to hold it in place. 
• Increase Blood Flow to the Scalp
  Start incorporating scalp massages into your daily routine. There are plenty of tools that can help stimulate hair growth, like the Bosley MicoRoller and the Bosley Electric Scalp Massager.
• Use Topical Hair Restoration Products
  Simple swaps to your usual hair care products can help stop a receding hairline. BosleyMD hair care products help to visibly restore thinning hair. 

¿Por qué retroceden las entradas?

La mayoría de las recesiones capilares se deben a una hormona conocida como dihidrotestosterona (DHT). Este derivado de la testosterona es hereditario, lo que significa que forma parte de su composición genética.

Los hombres con folículos pilosos sensibles a la DHT (que suelen encontrarse a lo largo de la línea de implantación del cabello en la parte superior y frontal del cuero cabelludo) descubren que su cabello se va adelgazando lentamente con el tiempo hasta llegar a caerse. Este patrón de pérdida de cabello tan común es progresivo y se conoce como alopecia androgenética o calvicie de patrón masculino.

Si has empezado a notar cambios en el nacimiento del pelo, el retroceso suele ser una de las primeras etapas de la calvicie de patrón masculino. En esta etapa, el cabello puede empezar a afinarse alrededor de las sienes y también puede notar que su línea de nacimiento del cabello se parece más a una M, V o U cuando se ve desde arriba.

To determine the kind and extent of hairline thinning and loss, we use what’s known as the Norwood Scale. This classification system helps healthcare professionals in diagnosing and treating hair loss. The Norwood Scale is made up of seven different stages, from mild recession to moderate thinning to severe hair loss. If you treat your hair loss while it’s still in the first few stages, you increase your chances of retaining your existing hair. However, the longer hair loss progresses, the more difficult it becomes to treat effectively.

Less commonly, hair loss can also be the result of stress, tight hairstyles, or certain medical conditions. Read more about hair loss causes in men.
