One thing i hate in my life is my beard and the lack off hair on the top,
right now im trying to find a doctor who can help me getting hormone treatments,
but does the treatment stop the beard and make hair grow again ???
I sure hope so!

Nope. Only electrolysis or laser will remove it.

Quoteand make hair grow again ???

Suppressing testosterone (and thus DHT) should stop further losses, but it won't grow hair where there isn't any... though existing "peach fuzz" will often turn darker and become more like terminal hairs.

However, you don't need hormones to do this. Propecia (Avodart is better if you can get a doc to prescribe it for hair loss), mixoxidil, and 2% Nizoral shampoo used together are very effective for many people.

Electrolysis will work on any colour hair.

Laser works best on dark hair, and generally won't affect grays/blonde hair at all. There are some lasers (Aurora?) which some claim will treat light hairs, but I'm skeptical. Some people also take a drug which darkens hairs somehow... I forget what it's called. "Mell... mellodine" or something. Again, I'm skeptical.

What many people do in order to save time and money is use laser to get the dark hairs, then go back and finish up with electrolysis.
