    TLDR The Calvitron method for hair transplantation was effective in about 90% of the 25 patients treated for hair loss.
    In 1998, a study was conducted on 25 patients using the Calvitron method for hair transplantation to treat androgenic alopecia, a condition affecting 20-30% of the male and 5% of the female population. The patients were monitored for 6 months post-implantation. The study found that hair graft transplants were the most effective treatment in about 90% of the cases. Each patient received between 300 to 620 grafts, or 600 to 1200 hair follicles, in one session. The study concluded that while there were numerous surgical options for treating alopecia, none provided a single solution applicable to all problems.

      Han Bio plans to start clinical trials for a new hair multiplication technology this year, which could significantly reduce the cost and time of hair transplantation. The technology uses a single hair strand to cultivate enough cells for 30,000 hair strands.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 8 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.
