    TLDR FUE with DHI effectively restores natural hair growth in difficult areas.
    The study presents a case of a 50-year-old patient with multifocal post-burn alopecia treated using Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) methods. The treatment aimed to improve scalp defect outcomes, focusing on hair engraftment and patient satisfaction. One year post-transplantation, the patient reported satisfactory results, scoring 4 out of 5 on a Likert scale. A second session was conducted to enhance uniformity. The study concludes that FUE with DHI is effective for restoring natural hair growth angles and density, particularly in challenging areas like the front hairline and eyebrows, and is suitable for cases with limited options for local flaps and tissue extension.

      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.

      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.
