If I were you, I would seriously consider Platelet Rich Plasma therapy. It's probably less invasive. Also, now is the time to do it, because you still have diffuse areas. (Not much terminal hair though, unfortunately). Haven't tried that myself, but I'm in my forties, and my top density is good (hairline, is quite bad for me, unfortunately).
That said, you are probably a Norwood four, going on a Norwood five very soon. Would highly recommend you treat with Finasteride first (one milligram daily), and supplement that with regular strength Minoxidil.
The sooner you start, the better off your hair situation will probably be. There is an initial shedding, if you choose to use
regular strength Minoxidil.
Definitely would recommend foam for you. In fact, don't even try liquid. With low density, dandruff will be very visible.
Just use five percent twice daily. The initial shedding is a one time thing, if you are a responder to Minoxidil.
Also, protect your scalp from weather elements, if needed. (UV rays, etc). That can damage hair (sun burn).
