    TLDR Proper care and management are crucial for successful hair transplants and minimizing complications.
    Hair transplantation using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique is effective for treating hair loss but involves potential complications such as infection, necrosis, and keloids. Expected postoperative events include pain, edema, and hair loss. Effective management includes patient education, proper postoperative care, and the use of medications like minoxidil and finasteride. Preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up are crucial for minimizing complications and enhancing patient satisfaction. The document emphasizes the importance of managing patient expectations and ensuring proper care to prevent severe complications and improve outcomes.

      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.
