Effect of Finasteride on facial hair
Question for any men who have used finasteride since the age of 18-25: Did it have any effect on your ability to develop a full beard?
I've been waiting for my beard to thicken up since the age of 15 (now 21) and I'm worried that taking fin could stop it dead in it's tracks and leave me with bumfluff for life.
I read a study that claimed that finasteride actually INCREASED beard thickness, supposedly because:
- Testosterone is responsible for 'priming' the hair follicles of the face
- DHT is only responsible for 'linear growth'
and given that finasteride increases T and decreases DHT, facial hair gets thicker but grows slower.
Anyone here have any experience with this? Thanks in advance.
