Thinning at the temples is one of the earliest and most common signs of hair loss in both men and women. A receding hairline at the temples can feel distressing, as it often changes the shape of the face and makes hair look less full. The good news is that modern temple hairline thinning treatments can help restore density and prevent further loss.
Why Does Temple Hairline Thinning Happen?
Temple hairline thinning often develops as part of androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness or female-pattern hair loss). This hereditary condition is linked to sensitivity to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone that gradually weakens hair follicles.
- In men, temple thinning typically starts in the 20s or 30s and can progress into a receding “M-shaped” hairline.
- In women, thinning at the temples often appears as widening part lines or general loss of density, especially after hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause.
Early intervention is key—starting treatment for temple hairline thinning as soon as you notice changes increases the likelihood of regrowth.
Effective Temple Hairline Treatment Options
At Aushair, we provide a range of clinically proven treatments to address temple hair loss in men and women. Depending on the stage and severity of thinning, our specialists may recommend one or a combination of the following:
1. Non-Surgical Hair Restoration
For early to moderate temple thinning, non-surgical options can deliver significant improvements without downtime:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – Uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate inactive follicles and encourage regrowth at the temples.
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) – Increases blood circulation and energises follicles, supporting healthier and thicker hair.
- Minoxidil – A topical treatment available for both men and women, known to slow hair loss and promote regrowth in thinning temple areas.
2. Medications for Temple Hairline Thinning
Medications are often recommended as part of a long-term temple hair loss treatment plan:
- Finasteride (for men) – Lowers DHT levels in the scalp, slowing hairline recession and supporting regrowth.
- Minoxidil (for men and women) – Applied directly to the scalp, it can stimulate new growth and improve hair density.
Combining medications with non-surgical therapies often achieves the most effective results.
3. Hair Transplant Surgery
For advanced temple baldness, hair transplant surgery may be the best option. Healthy follicles are transplanted from thicker areas of the scalp into thinning temple regions, creating natural and permanent results. This solution is available to both men and women seeking a long-lasting fix.
4. Natural Remedies and Lifestyle Support
While professional treatments deliver the most noticeable regrowth, home remedies for temple hair loss can complement medical solutions:
- Scalp Massage – Improves circulation when combined with essential oils like rosemary or peppermint.
- Balanced Nutrition – Ensuring adequate intake of biotin, zinc, iron, and protein supports stronger, healthier hair.
- Stress Management – Practices such as exercise, mindfulness, and quality sleep can reduce hair loss triggers.
These methods won’t reverse severe hair loss on their own, but they help create the best environment for healthier growth.
