Recovery IS Possible, I'm done fixating on this

1:56 AM

The before photo was taken on April 19th, 2025, a few days after stopping minoxidil, the after photo was taken just now. Bare face in both photos, no moisturizer, no sunscreen, nothing. These are photos from a bathroom, I emphasized showing the glass door to show it was in the same room and lighting.

Even several days after stopping, my face still looked ruined. I actually didn't feel like recovery would be possible. I had heavy eye dark eye bags, nasolabial folds, bloated face, terrible aged appearance. I did not think recovery was possible. After seeing this before and after comparison, I am fully convinced that recovery is possible, and that it has happened. There is still a lot of improvement left for me, I still look way different compared to prior to taking minoxidil, but I think my appearance is actually improving. In some ways, I look better now than before, but my face to me still feels like it's missing something.

But yeah, I am done writing about this topic. Sorry to everyone that got annoyed about me constantly writing about this. Again, to me, I still feel like there's so much recovery and improvement left, but it's clear that a lot has already recovered and improved. The final conclusion is that our face is ever changing, and it can recover from even internal damage.
