  • 20–30 years
  • 0.5mg daily
  • 2–3 weeks
  • 1.0mg daily
  • 100% (baseline)
  • Standard
  • Low. Melanocytes respond uniformly
  • Standard protocols work well; rapid titration is safe
  • 30–40 years
  • 0.25–0.5mg daily
  • 3–4 weeks
  • 0.75–1.0mg daily
  • 85–90%
  • Slightly reduced
  • Moderate. Some UV damage present
  • Begin dose moderation; watch for patchy response
  • 40–50 years
  • 0.25mg every other day
  • 4–6 weeks
  • 0.5–0.75mg daily
  • 70–80%
  • Reduced by ~10–15%
  • High. Decades of photoaging create irregular melanocyte zones
  • Slower titration essential; lower ceiling prevents overstimulation
  • 50+ years
  • 0.25mg every 3 days
  • 6–8 weeks
  • 0.5mg daily or every other day
  • 60–70%
  • Reduced by ~20–25%
  • Very high. Significant melanocyte depletion in sun-exposed areas
