there is probably little or nothing that can be done medically to make you grow facial hair. if those hair follicles were not present when you were born you can't grow new ones. it is too late to change your parents and genetics so the amount of facial hair that you have now is about all you will get. i don't think that medicines used for patchy baldness in men will work the same way on your face but that would be up to your doctor or a dermatologist to determine. testosterone a male hormone can cause some facial hair growth in men how are low but again if you do not have those follicles it may not help. your first step is to see a dermatologist.
i am a 45 year old man and have little facial hair basically i have no sideburns. what can i do to promote hair growth? . i do have some facial hair (chin cheeks neck) but there are other bare patches as well. this didn't bother me when i was younger but as i age i would like the option of growing a beard to mask skin blemishes wrinkles etc. what are my options? what can i start to do on my own and if that doesn't work when should i consult my doctor?
