    TLDR The book is a valuable, comprehensive guide on hair transplantation, recommended for surgeons and students, with minor areas for improvement.
    The book "Hair Transplantation: The Art of Micrografting and Minigrafting, Second Edition," edited by Alfonso Barrera and Carlos Oscar Uebel, is highly praised for its comprehensive coverage of hair transplantation techniques, including follicular unit extraction (FUE) and the untouched strip technique. The book, which includes 20 chapters and 6 video DVDs, is noted for its high-quality writing, editing, photographs, and didactic tables. It is considered a valuable resource for hair surgeons of all levels of experience and a beneficial teaching aid for students and residents. The reviewer, Dr. Pierre Bouhanna, suggests that the inclusion of treatment algorithms and information on automation and robotics for FUE would enhance the book. Despite these minor weaknesses, the book is rated 4 out of 5 and is recommended as a must-have for hair surgeons' libraries.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 8 months 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.
