Do androgens really affect the face if you're still developing?

[76.1]

I've seen so many people say different thing about the effect of androgens on facial masculinization in teens. Obv they'll give a body halo, but I'm concerned only with the face in this case.

Some say it's cope, some people say that it only works without blocking DHT, some people say it only works if you're deficient in test, some people say that since everyone nowadays is deficient in test they'd ascend via doing it, etc.

You can see why a grey like myself finds it confusing what the reality is for the average developing male in his mid to late teens trying to increase his dimorphism.

I know I could try it out on myself or whatever, but I'm in a situation right now where it'd be near impossible for me to obtain everything needed to run a cycle while mitigating the sides as much as I can while hiding it from my parents

Thx in advance for any replies

yes it does, it is crucial in puberty. A lot of people say dht is too, as well, but that's cope, after you are past 16, many DHT-deficient men with high test have masculinized faces and bodies with a full head of hair. It matters what age you start, I would say; the younger, the more jurassic the change in bone, such as bigonial width and brow ridge. The shape of the bone is mostly genetic, but the density can be heavily influenced by the exogenous testosterone, which stimulates osteoblast activity. Also, your facial muscles will grow at a higher rate, considering that one of the test's main purposes is to help you produce muscle, so I think a combination of those two things can really change a face, but it matters where you are at in puberty and how your body responds.
