Millennials and the younger generation have their own perspective on attractiveness, both in the Western and the Eastern world. Old-school masculinity is not embraced as much as before. Beard growth has become popular. Delayed life milestones also change the way these patients look at themselves. Many of them start filler treatments earlier. All these factors require more diversified approaches.

Men should be instructed to either shave or not. When shaving, they should use a four or five bladed razor, adequately wet the beard, and shave in all directions. They should not alternate between an electric razor or depilatory and should shave more than once a week.

This is a condition that is due to in-growing hairs in the beard area. It occurs only in men with tight curly hair. The inflammatory papules and pustules are due to a foreign body reaction to the ingrowing hairs.

KTT shaped as two crossing rakes with base supraclavicular and the cervical posterior triangular inferior region was used. Both KTTs were attached to the skin using the lymphatic correction technique. According to this technique, 4–6 strips (fan strips) of 0.5–1.5 cm were formed as an extension of a 2–2.5 cm uncut piece on the base (Figure 2). The aim was to provide circulation by creating free tissue parts between the strips and directing the lymph fluid to the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes in the pressure parts. The strips were adhered with a very light stretching (5 to 25%) according to the practitioner’s experience and visual evaluation. Further, these basic rules were followed: all bearded patients shaved before all treatments when necessary and patients were told not to apply any lotion or cream to their necks on the application day.

There are many factors involved in the pathogenesis of AGA, such as androgen levels, genetics and age. Past studies concluded that androgen stimulates hair growth in the beard, armpits and pubic area, while causing hair loss in the scalp area [25,26]. An early study by Hamilton et al. found that there is no hair loss in men with testicular insufficiency, but AGA could potentially be induced after administration of testosterone [27]. In normal hair growth, there is a regular cycle of anagen phase (growth phase) and telogen phase (rest phase). In hair follicles, testosterone is converted to its potent metabolite dihydrotestosterone by 5α-reductase type-II enzyme, which then binds to AR [1]. This binding shortens the duration of the anagen phase and prolongs the telogen period of the hair, resulting in miniaturization of the hair and leading to hair loss [7]. It is thought that specific polymorphisms in the AR gene may affect the sensitivity of follicular cells to androgens [28,29].
Teaching Puberty for LGBTQIA + Diversity, Inclusion, and Beyond: A New Model of Expansive Pubertal Understanding
Published in American Journal of Sexuality Education, 2022
The oft-examined struggle of “on time,” or “off time,” maturation, is indeed not just a matter of timing. These struggles are primarily in regard to physically manifesting what is anticipated to be the normative development for a sexed/gendered body. On time or off time is actually code for fitting gender norms in a particular time frame. Importantly, while most “late bloomers” are assured that they will “become a woman” or “become a man” one day, some actually never will. Some males will never grow beards, some females will never grow breasts, and some intersex girls will never menstruate, and so on. In addition, most humans who grow and develop will grow elements of what appears to be “the other sex,” since so much of pubertal development is actually shared (for example, extensive hair growth).
