Port wine stain - left cheek (beard transplant?)

December 12, 2015
Asked By:rockopocko in London, GB

I have a port wine stain that covers the entire right side of my cheek and neck. I have had laser treatment on it throughout my life. I am now 23 and cannot grow facial hair at all on that side of my face. Is there anything I can do to create a beard on that side?

Answer: Beard hair is a genetic trait. If lasers have destroyed your hair follicles, you can't grow a beard with medication.
