Medical Treatment of the Hairline and Temple Points

The document discussed the use of minoxidil and finasteride as treatments for male pattern baldness. Minoxidil, available in 2% or 5% scalp applications, and finasteride, taken as a 1 mg/day tablet, were the two medications approved by the FDA at the time. These treatments were noted for their ability to address hair loss, particularly in the hairline and temple points, which are common areas affected by male pattern baldness.
