Would rosacea (inflammation) inhibit a beard transplant from "taking hold"?

rkelly109Dec 5, 2016

AttaL,I would recommend that you wait a few more years to be certain if it would fill in or not. While minoxidil 5% does have facial hair growth as a side effect, I doubt that it will be significant. A beard hair transplant procedure is another option at a later time.Sincerely, Bernardino A. ...
