    TLDR The book helps surgeons improve hair transplants for Asian patients.
    The book "Practical Aspects of Hair Transplantation in Asians" provided a comprehensive discussion on hair transplantation techniques specifically for the Asian population, who typically have coarse and sparse hair. It covered both basic and advanced topics in hair restoration surgery, including Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), non-shaving FUE, and robotic hair restoration surgery. The book included step-by-step images and practical tips to help surgeons achieve optimal outcomes and improve patients' quality of life. Written by leading experts, it aimed to serve as an essential resource for hair surgeons working with Asian patients.

      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.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
