Suggest Treatment For Reduced Hair Growth In Beard
Question: Hi. I'm 28. I have decent mustache. but my beard hairs are extremely light and it appears as if i have no beard. please suggest if there is any treatment for this in XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
Hormonal imbalance needs to be ruled out.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your query and concern.
Beard thickness disturbances in males can be seen in hormonal imbalance.
So I advise you to get Serum.Testosterone(Total and free), Dihydrotestosterone and Thyroid profile at the earliest to look for any abnormality.
Treatment depends on the test results.
If test results are normal, Physiological aspects can be considered and natural ways of enhancing beard growth can be done.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Testosterone test can be done at any diagnostic and lab services.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I understand your concern.
Testosterone test can be taken at any nearby diagnostic and lab services.It's a blood test.
Rather than genetics, it's the hormonal levels that control the beard growth.
I suggest you the following natural ways to highlight your knowledge.
1 Exfoliate your skin once a week. This will help remove dead cells and stimulate hair growth.
2 Wash your skin with warm water using a mild cleanser twice a day. Clean skin accelerates hair growth.
3 Eucalyptus moisturiser helps promote facial hair growth.
4. Make sure you sleep well as this will help repair damaged skin cells and promote beard growth.
5. Include Vitamins in your diet as they speed up the hair growth process.
6.Take 5 mg of biotin every day to help your beard grow faster.Please check with your doctor with regards to its prescription.
7. Beards will grow more quickly when you are relaxed.
8. Increase the amount of protein in your diet. The protein found in meat, fish, eggs and nuts will help the hair on your face grow quicker.
9.Refrain from shaping or trimming your hair very often. Groom your beard only after six weeks when it is full grown.
10.Facial massage improves blood circulation to the face, which will stimulate new hair growth.
11. Amla oil is a natural remedy to increase facial hair growth. Massage your skin with amla oil and leave it on for 20 minutes and then rinse.
