    TLDR FUE hair transplants offer minimal scarring and are good for short hairstyles but are time-consuming and can be costly.
    The document reviewed the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant technique, highlighting its benefits of minimal scarring and suitability for patients desiring short hairstyles. It detailed the FUE procedure, including the FOX test, which found 74% of patients to be suitable candidates. Despite its advantages, FUE was noted to have limitations such as a higher transection rate of grafts and a more time-consuming process. The review also mentioned ongoing advancements, including automated and robotic systems, which could improve precision and efficiency but also present challenges like increased costs. The document concluded that FUE is a promising development in hair restoration, with potential for wider adoption as the technique is refined. However, it did not provide specific patient numbers or outcomes, focusing on the procedural aspects of FUE.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 1 year 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.
