Hairline and temple recession
The hairline moving back at the corners.
What's going on
Temple recession is usually the first visible stage of pattern loss — the corners retreat, the forehead reads taller, and styling compensates. Because it starts subtly, it is often dismissed until it is established.
Early recession is where treatment works hardest: follicles miniaturising are rescuable, follicles gone are not. An honest assessment tells you which stage you are at.
Why it happens
- Pattern loss, genetic and hormonal
- Traction from tight styling where relevant
- Age
- Family pattern
What can realistically be done
Assessment and staging
Where the hairline is, where it is heading, what is preservable.
Prescription and regenerative treatment
Slow or halt the recession where follicles remain.
Surgical planning
Hairline restoration is the most design-sensitive transplant work — Dr Truong plans it, where indicated.
What can't
A receded, follicle-bare hairline cannot be coaxed back with medicine — that is the surgical conversation, entered honestly. Earlier is always better.
What a first visit involves
Thirty to forty-five minutes with a doctor or nurse: your history, an assessment, and an honest plan with costs in writing. No treatment at a first visit. What to expect
