Will starting TRT make me lose my hair or just grow a thicker beard?

Testosterone converts to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which stimulates thicker body and facial hair growth while simultaneously accelerating hair thinning in men genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. However, hair loss isn't inevitable for everyone on TRT, and preventive options like topical or oral DHT blockers can be incorporated into your routine if needed. At HeydayMD, our clinicians evaluate your individual risk factors during your initial consultation and proactively tailor your hormone protocol to help preserve your hairline while optimizing your levels.
