Temple Recession

Receding Temples Treatment

Permanently and naturally fill in receding temples

Receding temples, clinically known as bitemporal recession, are the most prominent and earliest indicator of androgenetic alopecia (hereditary hair loss) in men, typically manifesting on the Norwood Scale as early as age 20. This specific pattern of follicular miniaturization is caused by a genetic sensitivity to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), which shrinks the hair follicles at the temples until they completely stop producing hair. Fortunately, receding temples can be permanently, densely, and completely reconstructed through advanced hair transplantation. At Novafolhair, our specialized surgical teams exclusively utilize precision FUE and DHI extraction methods to relocate genetically resistant hair follicles from the donor area directly into the thinning temples. Because these transplanted hairs are biologically immune to DHT, they will never fall out, providing a lifelong aesthetic solution. By utilizing ultra-fine single-hair grafts and meticulously angling them to match your native facial symmetry, we guarantee a 100% natural, undetectable hairline that immediately restores a youthful appearance and drastically improves self-confidence.

What Are Receding Temples?

Receding temples refer to the recession of the hairline at the temples. They are part of the typical male hair loss pattern (Norwood scale) and are caused by an hereditary sensitivity of hair follicles to the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Without treatment, hair loss generally progresses.

Stages of Receding Temples (Norwood Scale)

Stage 1-2

Slight recession of the hairline at the temples. Often barely noticeable yet. Early PRP therapy can slow progression.

Stage 3

Clearly visible temple recession. The hairline forms an M-shape. Ideal time for transplantation with 1,500-2,500 grafts.

Stage 4-5

Advanced temple recession, often combined with thinning at the crown. 2,500-4,000 grafts for a complete result.

Stage 6-7

Severe hair loss from forehead to crown. Larger transplantation possible depending on donor area. Individual consultation required.

Frequently Asked Questions About Receding Temples

Can receding temples be permanently filled?

Yes, through hair transplantation, genetically resistant hair follicles are transplanted into the temple recession areas. These hairs grow permanently and are resistant to further hair loss.

At what age can temple recession be transplanted?

We recommend treatment from around age 25 when the hair loss pattern has stabilized. In younger years there is a risk that the planning may need adjustment.

How many grafts are needed for temple recession?

Depending on extent, typically 1,500-3,000 grafts are needed. The exact number is determined in the free consultation.

Does correcting temple recession cost less than a full transplant?

Yes, since fewer grafts are needed, costs are generally lower than for a large-scale transplantation.

Can only the temples be treated and the rest later?

Yes, step-by-step treatment is possible. We plan the hairline so that later additions can be seamlessly integrated.
