Hey! I'd like to thank whoever is taking the time to read this. I just recently turned 23 and these little hairs on the sides of my cheeks just started to appear. I'm considering using Minoxdill for facial hair growth, but am worried about the collagen reduction side effect I've been reading about. I'm worried that it may not even work!!! I feel like I have no options. I'd be totally fine with just a little stubble, it doesn't have to be ZZ top.
