Thank you for your question, efraintamayo219101. Minoxidil can facilitate hair growth, however, NeoGraft FUE is the most effective solution for natural hair regrowth. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to learn how to supplement your minoxidil treatment.Best wishes,

In my opinion, you need to be examined by a hair expert. You need a good magnified examination, history and possibly blood work. It is not common for hair loss to develop 5 months after discontinuing minoxidil if it is not used for scalp hair. You need to be evaluated to determine if you have a stress type hair loss or genetic hair loss. Hope this helps. Good luck.

This hair is dependent upon minoxidil and when you stop the medication, it falls out because it needs the drug to grow. This hair will not come back unless you restart the minoxidil. Many young men want to accelerate their beard growth and ask
about it. It takes age (genetic triggers which occur in family lines) so
if you want to find out when your beard will grow out, you need to find out
when your father or grandfather started to grow theirbeard. Hormones should have kicked in
nicely by the time a man reaches 18 but he must wait out his genetics
as hormone alone are not responsible for the onset of beard grown. Beard
transplants can be done when the young man is a bit older (over 25) if the
beard has not grown in yet

Beard thinning or hair Loss is. A genetic condition. The best trade not option is hair transplant. There are no studies to prove hair growth in the beard area using minoxidil. If the use of minoxidil indeed slow down hair loss then once you stopped the hair falls more rapidly. It is best to get evaluated by a hair restoration specielaist to find the cause of your beard hair loss and best treatment option for you.
