    TLDR Hair transplantation can restore underarm hair after surgery, despite challenges.
    The document discussed a case of hair transplantation to the axillae following bromhidrosis surgery, which can result in the loss of axillary hair and cause embarrassment for some men. The author highlighted the challenges of this procedure, such as the poor graft survival due to the recipient area's compromised subcutaneous tissue and the difficulty in immobilizing the grafts. Despite these challenges, the author described a technique to achieve optimal results in restoring a masculine axillary appearance. This topic was not widely covered in medical literature at the time.

      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.
