Question 1

I've got really thin facial hair, and it's not growing in the way I'd like. Do you have any advice on how I can get a fuller, thicker beard? Also, what's your take on using laser treatment for this issue?

Accepted Answer

To promote fuller and thicker beard growth, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% applied topically on the face once daily. Additionally, taking biotin supplements can also help improve hair growth. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals essential for hair growth. As for laser treatment for beard growth, it is not a commonly recommended option. Laser treatments are more commonly used for hair removal rather than hair growth. It's best to stick with topical treatments and supplements for promoting beard growth.

Question 3

Doc, I'm 37 and dealing with oily skin that has pits. I've got my acne under control now, thankfully. I've been applying vitamin C serum for about 21 months, and it's helped a lot with the pits. For nine months now, I've also been using Retino A 0.05...

Your routine looks good, but consider these adjustments:

1. _Face wash_: Cetaphil is gentle, but you may benefit from a foaming face wash for oily skin, like Neutrogena Hydrating Facial Cleanser.
2. _Sunscreen_: Switch to a lightweight, oil-free sunscreen (see recommendations below).
3. _Nighttime routine_: Consider replacing Olay serum with a niacinamide serum to enhance skin brightness and reduce inflammation.

*Tretinoin Long-Term Use*

Tretinoin (Retino-A 0.05) can be used long-term, but:

1. _Monitor skin_: Regularly assess your skin for signs of irritation, dryness, or sensitivity.
2. _Adjust frequency_: If you experience irritation, reduce the frequency of application or switch to a lower concentration.
3. _Sun protection_: Continue using sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to prevent UV-induced damage.

*Sunscreen Recommendations for Oily Skin*

1. _Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Dry-Touch Sunscreen_: SPF 50, zinc-based, and non-greasy.
2. _La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Sunscreen Milk_: SPF 60, lightweight, and oil-free.
3. _EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46_: Fragrance-free, oil-free, and suitable for sensitive skin.
