There is no evidence that it increases growth in beards although I have had patients tell me it works there and on their eyebrows too. Best, Dr. Emer.
there are no products that have been proven to increase beard hair growth. Beard hair growth is genetic and you may still have growth. If your beard doesn't grow with time, beard hair tranplant can be a viable option.
Minoxidil is not the best treatment for growing beards in young men. Much of the time it does not bring out the real beard but can produce some peach fuzz. Many young men want to accelerate their beard growth and askabout it. It takes age (genetic triggers which occur in family lines) soif you want to find out when your beard will grow out, you need to find outwhen your father or grandfather started to grow theirbeard. Hormones should have kicked innicely by the time a man reaches 18 but he must wait out his geneticsas hormone alone are not responsible for the onset of beard grown. Beardtransplants can be done when the young man is a bit older (over 25) if thebeard has not grown in yet
If you always had patchy areas on your beard it may be normal. If you are seeing patchy hair loss on your beard, it may be a medical condition such as alopecia areata. See a doctor for a proper examination.
Beard hair is a genetic trait. There is no medication to grow a beard. Some try topical minoxidil but you would need to use it indefinitely.
Yes, whether it is scalp hair, body or beard; transplaknted hair follows the characteristics of the donor area. Since we don't expect to lose our beard by aging, beard to scalp hair transplant is considered permanent.
