Does this indicate recovery from telogen effluvium even if I don't have full density and it has been 1.5 years?

Recently, a dermatologist noted "small hairs with thicker diameter near the scalp and pointy at the end." I am worried about the long duration of possible recovery or AGA. I have read online forums and the "atlas if trichoscopy" and was wondering if these "upright regrowing hairs" are a good indicator of recovery even though there is no clear, defined visible recovery.
