    TLDR Combining FUT and FUE hair transplant methods in one session provides more grafts and higher patient satisfaction.
    In a study conducted from January 2010 to December 2015, a total of 54 patients with a mean age of 34.2 years underwent a combined hair restoration surgery using both Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) in a single session. The average number of grafts harvested was 3180.8, with FUT yielding an average of 1763.5 grafts and FUE yielding an average of 1417.3 grafts. The study concluded that combining FUT and FUE techniques in one session increases the total number of grafts available for transplantation, which leads to greater patient satisfaction. The combination of these techniques allows for a more significant impact on hair restoration without the need for multiple sessions.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 5 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.
