GlossaryFacial Hair Growth (Beard Growth)

development of hair on the face, influenced by testosterone

Facial Hair Growth refers to the development of hair on the face, typically in areas such as the chin, cheeks, upper lip, and jawline. This process is primarily driven by androgens, particularly testosterone, and usually begins during puberty. The rate and pattern of growth can vary widely among individuals due to genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors.
