Can Minoxidil 2% lotion help regrow beard hair lost due to plucking, and are there any side effects or impact on existing beard hair?

#AskDrJohnWatts

Different questions related to baldness, hair grafts, hair loss, hair transplant procedures and medical treatments for hair loss are being raised by patients now and then, including the followers of Dr John Watts, who keep flooding his series of hugely popular educational videos on his popular YouTube channel with queries related to different hair issues.

In this educational video session, Hyderabad’s noted dermatologist & trichologist and one of the Best Hair Transplant Surgeons in Hyderabad, Dr John Watts explains the fallout of deep-rooted behavioural tendencies like plucking one’s scalp or beard hair on a long-term basis.

Can one regrow such lost hair by using Minoxidil 2% topical lotion? Does Minoxidil affect existing hair growth? Will there be any adverse side effects after using Minoxidil to regrow the lost beard hair? He answers these questions in this educational video. So far, Dr John Watts has performed over 2000+ hair transplant surgeries successfully.

Bhukya Vijay Kumar asks: Sir, I have a bad habit of plucking my beard hair. As a result, now patches and gaps have formed on my beard as I have lost hair. I want to know if Minoxidil 2% topical lotion can help me regrow my lost beard hair. Will it lead to any adverse side effects? Will it affect existing beard hair in any way? Please explain.

Plucking one’s hair or beard hair, a condition known as trichotillomania is a unique habit that some individuals develop over time. However, it’s crucial to understand that such habits can have adverse consequences on hair growth and overall appearance.

In this educational video, Dr John Watts explained that consistent hair plucking can deplete the stem cell reserves responsible for controlling hair growth capacity. In the case of Bhukya Vijay Kumar, who raised concerns about his beard hair-plucking habit, Dr Watts suggested using 2% Minoxidil as a trial to see if the patches or gaps formed in his beard can be treated or if hair growth can recover.

“The impact of hair plucking on the stem cell reserves can vary, and if some stem cell reserves remain intact, there is a chance that the lost beard hair may regrow with the use of Minoxidil,” informed Dr John Watts.

While referring to the query raised by Bhukya Vijay Kumar, Dr John Watts clarified that using Minoxidil 2% lotion will not affect the growth of existing beard hair in any way.

However, if the Minoxidil treatment proves ineffective, Dr Watts recommended considering a beard hair transplant. This procedure involves harvesting healthy donor hair from the back of the scalp and transplanting it into the affected beard areas. It can be a viable solution, but Dr Watts cautioned that the success of such transplants may be short-lived if the hair-plucking habit is not controlled.

Conclusion: Hair plucking habits like trichotillomania can significantly impact hair growth and appearance. While Minoxidil and hair transplants can offer potential remedies, it’s essential to address the underlying psychological aspects with professional help to achieve lasting results. Seeking support from healthcare professionals can lead to a better understanding of the habit and pave the way for effective treatments.
