I've tried dermarolling, as well as min for 3+ years, and finasteride for the past 1+ years, but never saw any visible regrowth from anything unfortunately. It bothers me enough that I've tried all these things, spent countless hours staring at it in the mirror, worried about how much I'm shedding and if the areas are getting worse, and spent more time than I'd like to admit styling my hair to conceal the areas. At this point, I think it's worth it for me.
Thanks for your feedback! I do like to wear it shorter a lot, which makes me definitely favor FUE. I think at this point the main deciding factor between FUE vs FUT for me would be the price and the graft count. If I truly only need ~1500 grafts to have a nice dense hairline, I would go for FUE. If I need closer to 2500, FUE cost becomes so great that I don't think I could justify it, and would probably opt for FUT.
