Do any treatments work in the frontal area or are they only effective in the crown?
All treatments that work on the crown also work to some degree in the front–just not as well. Treatments are generally more effective the further back you go. Confusion arises because of the way some studies were conducted. With minoxidil, for instance, studies only measured vertex balding; i.e., the traditional bald spot. Accordingly, the only hair growth results that the manufacturer–Upjohn–is allowed to claim pertain to the vertex.
