I cant seem to grow facial hair on my cheeks, what can I do to rectify this?

Facial hair is a genetic trait. Creams or lotions will not grow facial hair. You should see a doctor for a proper exam and possible surgical options.

You may want to try topical minoxidil if you don’t get irritation. But the absolute solution is get a transplant.

Minoxidil may be a temporary solution. However, you should be aware that minoxidil helps with growth of vellus hair which may not be compatible with the beard hair. Therefore, for a more permanent solution, you may have a beard hair transplant surgery done. You should be checked for any hormonal or genetic diseases before the procedure.

It is in general hard to grow beard where you don't have it.  Of course, you can try minoxidil (Rogaine) but that's a temporary solution that you must keep doing it and most likely is not sustainable or even very effective.  PRP would not work.  The only durable solution would be a facial hair transplant (please see the link below for more info).  There are many factors that need to be considered when deciding on whether you are a good candidate.  If you are losing a lot of scalp hair already then you may need those hairs for your head rather than your beard.  It would be good to see if your hair texture in your head looks similar to the beard hair, i.e., a bit coarser.  That would be particularly important if you have existing hairs there and the scalp and existing beard hair needs to match.  Finally, how extensive a beard or mustache are you trying to achieve.  All of these factors can be discussed more in detail during a consultation whether we start on the phone or go straight to an in-person consultation (which is always preferred if possible).  I hope that helps a bit.

You have several options for facial hair restoration. I recommend using Rogaine daily in the beard distribution. You can consider topical testosterone cream, but this will likely come with side effects like acne as well as systemic absorption leading to other potential side effects. Additional non-surgical options include platelet rich plasma to the beard region. This is a low risk procedure best performed in young male patients (18-29 year olds) who may only require stimulation of the hair follicles to begin growth. Men in their mid to late 30's are more likely to have a stable beard distribution better improved with surgical procedures.Beard transplantation is a surgical procedure that requires taking hair from the scalp or other donor location (neck or chest), and placing the grafts in the desired beard distribution. This procedure has a high success rate and long term results. Visit a hair restoration specialist for an exam to see what your best options are.

The best option for you at this age is facial hair transplant. The hair can be procured from the scalp and implanted in the cheek area.This surgery has got good results in general. So, it will be better if you can go and visit a hair transplant surgeon and discuss in detail about the same.

As a medical treatment minoxidil can support facial hair growth, and as a surgical treatment beard transplantation has satisfied results, it can be a good option for you.

Currently the only treatment available for treating your condition would be hair transplant to the face.  I have done a ton of these procedures using combination of FUE (whereby we take one hair out of the back of the head at a time) and implanters to place the hairs into the face in a naturally appearing way.  If you are interested in finding out more, please don't hesitate to contact me.  BTW rosacea would not be a contraindication to this procedure in most cases. 

If you do not have much hair growth in the facial area , at this age your hair growth in the area is established.  Facial hair transplant is a great option if it is done by a qualified and experienced hair transplant doctor.  You can make an appointment and see a doctor for consultation.

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
