I was always known as the “hair guy,” but got sober, kicked addictions, got fit, and started actually caring for my hair after it started falling out. Curl cream, vitamin D, a healthier diet, regular conditioning, nizoral shampoo, and detangler got my hair in the fine condition you see today. I started going grey in my early 30s, and now I guess I’m a Witcher.

1. 2020. It started during covid. With working from home and being bored all the time, I turned to alcohol to cope with the stress of the pandemic. I was drinking 2 bottles of wine a night. I started developing serious health problems, so I had to quit drinking alcohol. Dr told me if I didn’t stop, I was gonna go to an early grave.
2. 2021. I finally got sober, got treatment and quit the booze for good. Got divorced, started working out again, found a new girlfriend. Everything seemed ok until…
3. 2024. I started smoking weed, quit working out, once again boredom took over and I got hooked on vaping. It caused a new set of health issues so I had to quit. This set me back a bit. Got into therapy.
4. 2025. Got dumped, and fell into depression, tried dating again, but failed. Decided to hit the gym and try improving and optimizing my looks. This pic is a few months after starting to work out again. Diet wasn’t locked in, and hadn’t tried any glowup techniques yet.
5. 2026. Now. Diet is on point. Met a new lady and we are very happy together. Fixed my posture, got my sodium levels in check, cut out empty carbs, added tons of protein, work out regularly, walk a lot, skincare, haircare, styling, mewing, and lots of water. I get compliments almost every single day. People tell me i am “beautiful” regularly (or that I am AI, even though almost all of these pics are Lives), I get free stuff, and lots of smiles from women and men alike. It’s shocking sometimes.

I’m not sure what else I can do, I have locked in on a good daily routine and a much better diet. I mostly want to do something about my dark undereye area, which drags me down a bit.

I have posted on other subs and gotten zero feedback, anything helps. Thanks!

I have had a recent glowup from Feb to today these pics are all in chronological order. I do skincare, posture correction, got a better haircut, lost weight/keto, darkened my eyebrows, and worked on my fashion sense. I am going for a vampire/goth kind of look.

Am I maxed out? I don't know what else I can really do from here. My biggest issue remains my dark under eye circles and uneven eyebags. I dont know how to get rid of them, other than using concealer, which always rubs off too easily.

would rather not do surgery unless its minimally invasive.
