Medical Video: Why Some Men Can't Grow Beards
Do you want to grow a beard and mustache but it hasn't materialized too? It could be that you are one of the people whose faces don't grow beards and mustaches. Yes, everyone does have different facial and skin characteristics. If there is a man who has a beard and mustache can grow thick, you may be very difficult to grow just a single beard on the face. Find out the cause below, let's.
Why not grow a beard and mustache on my face?
There are several factors that can affect the growth of a beard and mustache on a person's face. One of them is low testosterone levels. Yes, the hormone testosterone plays an important role in the growth of beards and mustaches. Men who lack testosterone make it harder to grow facial hair. This is why women who have lower testosterone levels than men generally cannot grow beards and mustaches.
A skin specialist from the United States, Dr. Kenneth Beer explains that testosterone levels in your body may be quite a lot. However, the sensitivity and reaction of each person's body to this hormone is different. There are men whose bodies can respond to testosterone well, so it's easy to grow a beard and mustache. However, there are also people who are less sensitive to testosterone even though the levels are sufficient.
Furthermore, Dr. Kenneth Beer also mentioned that genetic factors are very influential in people whose faces don't grow beards and mustaches. How thick your hair follicles are on your face and throughout your body is indeed determined in your genes, even before you are born. This gene may be passed down by your parents or grandfather.
Is there a way to grow a beard and mustache?
If your testosterone levels in your body are indeed very low or lacking, Dr. Kenneth says you can inject hormones. However, injecting testosterone cannot guarantee the growth of a beard and mustache. Especially if you genetically don't have the talent of a beard and a mustache. Whereas if you are not sensitive to testosterone, injecting any amount of hormones will not affect the growth of facial hair.
You may also have heard of drugs and supplements that can grow beards and mustaches. Be careful, don't be easily consumed by advertisements. Because, until now there have been no studies that can prove the existence of a beard. In addition, drugs that are claimed to encourage the growth of beards and mustaches are usually not clinically tested. What you have is actually experiencing side effects such as wounds or even damage to the liver.
According to dermatologists from the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Joel M. Galfand actually did not have any special treatment or medication recommended by health workers for men who did not grow beards and mustaches. However, if you really want to stretch your beard and mustache, you should pay attention to your lifestyle. Maintain a healthy diet with balanced nutrition and stop smoking. This can help increase sensitivity to the hormone testosterone in the body.
