41 Years Old. Have Facial Hair Under Chin. Safe Way For Facial Hair Production?
Question: I am 41 Years old indian, keralite.
I have some facial hair under my chin but almost nil in my cheeks. This gives me a boyish look even in my 40's !
It causes a lot of distress to me as people don't take me seriously.
Can there be any safe way to promote my facial hair growth now?

Hi,
I understand your situation.
Facial hair production is usually genetically determined.
There is little that can be done really.
This may or may not be a permanent condition. I suggest you use minoxidil (Rogaine) 5% once a day for a few months and see how well it works.
A facial hair transplant can always be an option as well.
It is important that you consult with a plastic surgeon that specializes in these procedures.
Thank you for your query. Hope this answers your query.
If you have any other queries, kindly direct them to me. I hope your wishes come true.
Have a nice day.

Dear Dr. Samik XXXXXXX
Thank you very much for your kind and valuable advice.
I have read that minoxidil on body areas could create serious side effects - is that true? That's why I selected Ayurveda as the preffered category.
I would like to test my testosterone level. Please prescribe me a testosterone and/or related tests.
Kind Regards,
XXXXXXX

Hi XXXXXXX
Minoxidil does not have serious side effects.
It only works on a temporary basis.
You can go for a serum testosterone level test.
Only facial hair transplant will provide you with a permanent cure.
Hope I was able to help you out.
