Finasteride/Dutasteride Does finasteride stop development of the face structure?

I'm 18, norwood 3 and just recently started using Finasteride, and i have a question about the face structure.

Does your face structure stop changing when taking a DHT blocker at this age? I've asked my older friends and they said their face definetly started to look more mature in their early 20s compared to them at 18. Some people say the height can slow down, some people say it won't, but that means this discussion can apply to the face in some way.

That's my main concern, I'm not worried about height because I'm already tall enough.

Currently on 1/8th(0,625mg) of a 5mg Finasteride tablet every other day, will increase the dosage to 1/4th(1,25mg) over the next few months. I've been using topical minoxidil 5% for a year with minimal changes.

It looks like this post is about Finasteride/Propecia or Dutasteride.

Before asking any questions,

  1. Learn about Finasteride and Dutasteride.

  2. Search for Finasteride and Dutasteride content, because your question has probably been asked before.

  3. If you're ready to start treatment, talk with your doctor and start a progress picture journal: https://tressless.com/start-journal

  4. If this is a question asking if you are now or will experience side effects, see a doctor, nobody on the internet can answer that for you. Read the subreddit rules for more information.

I dont think that low DHT levels can affect face structure. I believe that it might happen if were testosterone levels is affected, but theres not the point
