    TLDR The document concludes that careful planning, efficient use of every hair graft, and setting surgical priorities are crucial for successful hair restoration surgery.
    The 2002 document "The Art of Repair in Surgical Hair Restoration—Part II" detailed the technical aspects of hair restoration, emphasizing Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) as the ideal tool for repair due to its efficient use of donor supply and natural restoration. Techniques such as removal and re-implantation, removal alone, and camouflage were discussed. The study highlighted the importance of meticulous surgical techniques and optimal use of limited hair supply. It also discussed the concept of camouflage, which corrects the visible edge of a poor transplant and uses existing grafts to provide volume. The document addressed issues like ridging, hair loss from facelifts, and donor repair, and stressed the importance of careful planning and execution in surgical hair restoration. It concluded that in corrective surgery, the judicious use of every graft was critical and setting surgical priorities was as important as the technique itself.

      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.
