Recognition of Dilution
The journey began early 2021, where others pointed to the subtle signs of dilution. Despite the absence of withdrawal of the hairline, the individual initially ignored the concerns and attributed it to naturally thin hair.

However, the ongoing observations led to self-awareness, encouraging the start of a rigorous documentation process with hundreds of photos.
Topical Minoxidil and Dermarolling

The dedication to the regime is reflected in the extensive documentation and openness about the process. The individual acknowledges that dilution is not limited to a particular side, highlighting the diffuse nature of the condition.
Transition to Dermaroller to Dermapen
After having achieved positive results with the dermaroller, a shift to a dermaple took place. This change was aimed at increased efficiency and reduced discomfort during application. The dermapen is now used every 10 to 14 days, showing the willingness to adapt in the pursuit of optimal results.
Prospects of Finasteride

Despite the challenges, the individual stresses the ease of obtaining via online platforms.
Ethnic Background and Personal Care

Details about washing frequency, possible side effects and maintenance provide a comprehensive overview of the individual's journey.
Additional Information: New Treatment Plan

Hairwashing routine
