I'm 18. Will I keep a beard grown by Minoxidil, if my genetics would have grown it anyways?

Asked By:maxjr in London, GB

I'm currently 18 years old and my beard is patchy. All males in my family have a beard. Thus, I know I will mostly get one. So, if I use minoxidil to grow a beard faster. Will I keep the beard progress when I stop? As I would have grown one anyways as my genetics allow it. I won't be forcing my body to grow hairs that it wouldn't have grow naturally couple months or years. Is my logic right?
