A member asked:
Does finasteride affect facial hair growth? i ask because it reduces the conversion of testosterone into dht?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Finasteride and hair: Because Testosterone is not converted to DHT, there is more free testosterone in the circulation. This leads to reduced prostate growth, but also increased scalp hair growth. It does not increase or reduce facial or body hair growth since those are DHT mediated.
