Biomaterial-Based Mechanical Regulation Facilitates Scarless Wound Healing With Functional Skin Appendage Regeneration

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.

The conversation discusses using topical synthetic prostaglandins like Bimatoprost, Latanoprost, and cetirizine for hair growth. The user shares a link suggesting these treatments may be effective.
