    Glossary Temple Recession

    Temple recession refers to the gradual loss of hair at the temples, often resulting in a more pronounced forehead and an altered hairline shape. This phenomenon is commonly associated with androgenetic alopecia, or male and female pattern baldness, and can occur in both men and women. Key distinguishing characteristics include the specific location of hair loss, which typically starts at the sides of the forehead and progresses backward, leading to a triangular or M-shaped hairline. Understanding temple recession is crucial for assessing the progression of hair loss and determining appropriate treatment options.
