GlossaryFacial Hair

hair growing on the face, like beards and mustaches

Facial hair refers to the hair that grows on the face, typically on the chin, cheeks, and upper lip. This includes beards, mustaches, and sideburns. It is more common and prominent in males due to higher levels of androgens, particularly testosterone, which stimulate hair growth in these areas.

community why are beard gains on min usually permanent?

in Minoxidil 43 upvotes 10 months ago

Beard gains from minoxidil are usually permanent due to facial hair follicles' lower sensitivity to DHT. Scalp hair requires ongoing DHT suppression with treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and RU58841 to maintain gains after stopping minoxidil.
