I don't have hair loss problems. My beard just simply doesn't grow on some areas (patchy beard). I am considering using Minoxidil to see what kind of results i can get with it. From what i've seen on the internet, great things are possible. However i dont know if my hair will fall out once i stop using it. I've read that people who have hair loss problems need to use forever to keep the results. Is it the same for people who just want to grow hair where it previously didn't exist?

Yes there is a little receding on the corners, but it is very early for you to get a hair transplant. PRP and finsteride can be a good solution for your situation
Although it is unlikely to be a problem, since there are no studies done on use of light laser caps and pregnancy, the actual effects would be unknown. It would be advised to check with your ob/gyn on this matter. good luck!!
Finasteride has side effects that are very well known. If you experience the side effects you can quit and the effects will go away as well. The main side effect is that it lowers the sex drive.
