Temple hair thinning, commonly known as temporal recession, is a condition characterized by a receding hairline at the temples. This results in a widening of the forehead and a noticeable thinning of hair along the temples.
This condition is often associated with male pattern baldness, although it can occur in women as well. Hair thinning at temples significantly impacts a person's overall appearance and self-esteem. Historically, treatments have ranged from topical medications to surgical interventions.
