Does Testosterone Help In Growth Of Facial Hair?

Hi, I m Patrick, 34, bodybuilder. I had always wanted to grow a beard, but I am much hairless on the face, I usually need to shave once a week to look clean shaved. I let it grow for a month, there is some hair on the jaw line, chin and mustache, but quite nothing on the jaws. I never really shaved, is shaving my face twice a day will help growing a beard after a while? I also always struggled with fat lost, had a hard time to grow my muscles also. I planned to inject myself 2cc of testosterone/week for 10 weeks to build more muscle, can it help me to grow some facial hair, and is it enough testosterone? thank you very much

Hello,

Do not use testosterone for hair growth, it can cause unwanted complications like infertility. Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated, drugs like minoxidil will be helpful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
