Is Matt Damon Treating His Hair Loss?

Matt Damon's new movie, "The Martian," is currently out in theaters - but in the actor's recent publicity stills, one thing that stands out is the increased density of his hair line.

Photos taken of Damon back in 2012 showed obvious signs of thinning in the frontal hair line:

At that time, Damon was 42 years old, and hair loss tends to speed up during a man's 40s, not slow down. Three years later, this hair loss, which is highly noticeable in the above photo, should be considerably worse - but recent photos show this is anything but the case. Instead, this thinning appears to have been stalled and slightly reversed:

So how did Damon's hair line thicken? It may be due to hair restoration treatment, such as a finasteride or minoxidil based therapy, or platetlet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Treatments like Formula 82M, FinPlus, PRP and nutritionals such as Viviscal Pro and Amino-Mar or effective ways to reduce/reverse thinning and boost the vitality of the hair follicles.

Recession Alert: Matt Damon

Good news for men everywhere, even with a receding hairline you can still be a Hollywood heartthrob! Just look at former sexiest man alive, Matt Damon. 


In recent photos of the actor, 41, you can see early signs of temporal recession, which isn't at all uncommon for a man his age. Thirty percent of men in their 30s experience hair loss and the number increases to 40 percent as men enter their 40s. From the photos, it appears that Damon is Norwood Class I, which means that while his hairline is maturing, typical of an adult hairline, he has yet to see any frontal balding. He is also fortunate to have an otherwise full head of hair.

Considering his status on the Hollywood A-list, Damon might want to consider a proactive hair regimen of FDA-approved Propecia or Rogaine, which could help him avoid any further recession. He would hardly be the first celebrity to take action against hair loss, more celebrities are investing in hair restoration than ever before. New technology and non-invasive procedures are selling points for many looking to enhance their looks discreetly.
