Impact of Finasteride and Dutasteride on Beard Thickness in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia: A 453-Patient Retrospective Trial

The study investigated the effects of finasteride and dutasteride on beard thickness in men with androgenetic alopecia, involving 453 participants in a retrospective trial. The results indicated that both medications, commonly used for treating hair loss on the scalp, also have a significant impact on increasing beard thickness. This finding suggests that these drugs may have broader applications in managing hair growth beyond the scalp, offering potential benefits for men seeking to enhance facial hair density. The study provides valuable insights into the versatility of finasteride and dutasteride in treating hair-related conditions.
