TLDR The technique improved hair transplant success and patient satisfaction by matching hair growth direction.

The 2019 study "Determination of follicular direction and preparation of micrograft holes for hair transplantation" by Jovanović Milan et al. involved 56 patients and focused on improving hair transplantation techniques. The researchers used the same number of 18 gauge injection needles as the planned number of micrografts for transplantation. The needles were inserted in the direction and angle of hair growth, which reduced bleeding and operation time to an average of three hours. The success rate of grafting was 95%, with only one infection reported. After a year, hair growth corresponded to the needle insertion and patient satisfaction was 100%. The study concluded that this technique allowed for better determination of hair growth direction, prevention of follicular extraction caused by new needle insertion, and achieved good aesthetic results.

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.
