Are corticosteroid injections really the best method?

I've had them for years since i was 10 I'm 18 now. Also had them on the scalp for the most part with little growth BUT it's growth. Until i had started losing parts of my eyebrows i had injections and only one has more growth. I'm starting to lose my beard (only have somewhat of a goatee now) and my dr says it is no use to save my beard but i want it! The main problem is the eyebrows, can anyone help me and tell me if i should continue the shots on them or is there something better? How can i save my beard? Please and thank you!

Oh, I'm sorry. Ok let's change the subject to something less alopecia-y cause it's such a mood killer lol :)

What else have you used in the past? I haven't really used anything besides the Latisse for my eyebrows. My head is pretty much a lost cause since nothing has grown since I was like 4 or something hahaha

Yes you did! But if anything I'm gonna shave my head if nothing helps.
