    TLDR FUE hair transplants have improved to give more natural results with less scarring and pain.
    The document from September 25, 2017, details the advancements in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), a hair transplantation technique that has evolved to provide natural-looking results with minimal scarring. It highlights the transition from small graft numbers to mega-sessions, allowing for better coverage and density, particularly in patients with limited donor capacity or higher Norwood classifications. FUE is noted to have a higher average hair per graft count compared to Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), as well as less post-procedure pain and no linear scarring. The document also discusses the importance of precise surgical planning, innovative tools, and the assessment of donor area quality, introducing concepts like "calculated density" and "coverage value" to predict the number of grafts needed. It emphasizes that the angle of hair penetration is crucial for minimizing scarring and that FUE has seen significant improvements over the past 15 years, leading to more homogenized and natural outcomes in hair restoration.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 6 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.

      The conversation is about the progress of verteporfin in hair loss trials, with users expressing curiosity about its effectiveness and updates. Specific treatments mentioned include FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) combined with verteporfin, with one reported case of donor area regrowth after a year, and three patients being monitored post-treatment by Dr. Bloxham with monthly updates on YouTube.
