hair transplantation antithrombotic therapy bleeding risk peri-operative management

TLDR Continue antithrombotic therapy during hair transplants to prevent heart issues, despite bleeding risks.

The document discussed the considerations for managing patients on antithrombotic therapy who sought hair transplantation. It highlighted the importance of antithrombotic therapy in preventing serious cardiovascular events, particularly in patients with mechanical heart valves. The paper likely addressed the balance between continuing antithrombotic therapy to prevent cardiovascular complications and the potential increased risk of bleeding during the surgical procedure of hair transplantation. Specific guidelines or recommendations for peri-operative management in such cases might have been provided, although these details were not explicitly mentioned in the summary.

community Verteporfin and Microneedling

in Treatments 1 year ago

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.
