community Verteporfin FUT 9 Month Update
Dr. Bloxham's 9-month update on FUT scar revision with Verteporfin shows promising results. Excitement is high for FUE, which appears highly effective based on Dr. Barghouthi's findings.
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.
community Would Verteporfin be the true ‘cure’ as it could reverse a NW7 to a NW1?
Verteporfin might reverse severe hair loss but is still in early testing stages. It could be a future option for NW6-7, though expensive.
community Verteporfin update - Dr Barghouthi finishes another case
A hair restoration case involved injecting four different doses of Verteporfin into the mid scalp and using Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) around the extraction areas. Photos were taken and an update will be shared soon.
