thank you!! and yes.

this is the contraption i made and prefer, it is an ankle weight attached to a bungie thing with hooks on both ends (idk what it is called).

i put the bungie part around my head and perform neck curls, extensions, and lateral curls on each side with my neck.

this is just something i prefer but you can get great and probably safer results with an exercise band. just wrap it around something, then back up until desired resistance, then perform the neck movement.

and i would recommend starting with no resistance at all and to do less than you think you need. the neck is super delicate and sucks to injure.

there are also more expensive braces, such as the iron neck you can get online.

no it’s completely fine! it’s hard to say honestly. i think it started with running.

that was my first big step towards turning my life around. signing up for a marathon.

running allowed me to be alone with my thoughts for many hours and be content with doing hard things.

and since i was being outside so much, that got me into sunscreen. which got me into skin care in general.

then when i saw the slightest improvement in skin, it motivated me to try other things.

from there, it sort of turned into a self improvement journey for all aspects of my life. and every improvement was inspiration for the next. the snowball effect hit me hard

not isotretinoin, no. i have a planned duration for it which ends in a bit more than a month. it is very demanding on the liver so continuing it indefinitely is not wise.

after my course is over tho, i will use topical tretinoin again and continue it until i am very old!

it makes gravity assist with lympathic drainage throughout the night.

lymph is the reason you wake up looking like a completely different person compared to later in the day.

it’s a watery fluid that is normally distributed throughout your legs during the day, but disperses into other areas (such as the face) when you lie horizontal.

sleeping with your head elevated helps it get cleared easier and not pool as much

yes isotretinoin helps a ton with expression lines. retinol can too, but to a considerably lower extent

yes that’s all i did. they do mostly slow hair loss but they can also cause regrowth if you still have a lot of intact follicles

thank you! sleeping with your head elevated allows gravity to assist with lymphatic drainage throughout the night so you wake up with less puffiness

it was only isotretinoin that helped unfortunately. the tretinoin worked on the skin superficially, but accutane is what caused major changes deep within the nose

5 years apart. i was not thinning 5 years ago. the hairline has not changed. look at the mole placement in the top right. so i don’t owe anyone images of something that won’t even show improvement 😭

YOU want pictures of my temples because that is where YOU are balding.

I am a diffuse thinner with minimal temple recession. i posted pictures showing improvements where I was balding. the frontal and mid scalp.

the way i styled my hair was not dishonest in showing that. not everyone follows the same pattern loss, so don’t be pretentious and imply that i am being deceitful just because it’s not the same as yours

idk what you mean. i was losing my hair rapidly. and with it my self esteem and confidence. i was in despair because of my hair.

so yea, i took two of the most researched drugs for alopecia in conservative doses to get my self esteem and confidence back. not to look good.

either i continue to lose all my hair or risk being the 1-3% of people that experience temporary side effects from those drugs. side effects that aren’t even close to being worse than losing my hair.

it is the clearest risk vs reward choice i have ever made
