5 / 5 resultscommunity Verteporfin Update #2: Day 1 through Month 1 | Dr Blake Bloxham | Feller & Bloxham Medical | NY, NYC
The conversation discusses the use of Verteporfin in hair loss treatment. It suggests that Verteporfin could potentially regenerate hair follicles instead of forming scars, providing an unlimited donor supply for hair transplants.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
