Will low level laser therapy to the face help grow a thicker beard? I use LLLT with over 20 lasers for 1.5-2 hrs weekly.

Beard and hair loss patterns in AGA are inherited. However, while DHT acts on the hair in the inherited AGA pattern to inhibit it's growth, it stimulates the growth of the follicles in the inherited beard pattern. LLLT can stimulate thinning hair in the inherited (Norwood) pattern, this will not work on beard hair because the beard here is missing because genetically it was never there to begin with. If it were it would have grown because in this case DHT stimulates the growth not inhibit it. Hope this helps!Sincerely,Bernardino A. Arocha,MD

No, LLLT can not grow hair on your beard area. 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
