    GlossaryTemporal Hair Loss (hair loss at temples)

    gradual hair thinning at the temples

    Temporal hair loss, also known as temporal alopecia or thinning hair at the temples, refers to the gradual loss of hair in the temple regions of the scalp. This condition can be caused by various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, or certain medical conditions. It is often an early sign of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) and can be addressed through treatments like topical minoxidil, oral medications, or lifestyle changes.
