I am in the same boat as you legend. I am not balding but I have very weak temple points. I’m also asian and around your same age.
I made the mistake of going to a reputable surgeon who does Neograft on the side and it made my perfectly normal hair into a mess. After doing a lot of research, I am going with Dr. wong because he has done some amazing temple work. My first step was to fue out the bad grafts. Now I have to wait (due to the shutdown) a year to get my temple points (600 grafts).
My point is, If you want more density, I would go back to H&W around 2022. DO NOT GO TO TURKEY or somewhere cheaper. Even if it seems small and simple, bc it can get worse.
Before you do that, I would recommend going to a stylist and ask if s/he can cut your hair to give it more volume and thickness. It will help a lot to get a trim.
i started using 82f and taking finasteride every other day to guarantee I can keep my hair until I’m 100.
