Can Rogaine (minoxidil) Lower a High Hairline?

This question, asked by a member of our Hair Restoration Social Community and Discussion Forums, was answered by Coalition hair transplant surgeon Dr. Glenn Charles:

I’ve always been self-conscious about my high hairline, but I don’t think I’m ready to undergo surgical hair transplantation to lower it to a more cosmetically pleasing level. So I’m wondering, will applying Rogaine (minoxidil) 1-2 centimeters below my natural hairline create new growth and lower my hairline?

I have never really seen Rogaine lower a patients hairline. In most cases the only way to do that is with a hair transplant. In fact, even if you used Rogaine 4 times per day ( twice the recommeded dosage ) I would not expect any change in the height of your hairline.
