TLDR The new FUE device improves hair transplant safety and efficiency.

The article described a new programmable motorized FUE device developed by Dr. Roberto Trivellini, which incorporated suction and various punch movement sequences to improve follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedures. The device aimed to enhance graft quality, reduce transections, and facilitate easier, less traumatic graft removal. The innovative features included a touch screen control panel, ergonomic handpieces, and a suction unit capable of generating 600mmHg of negative pressure. The technique involved precise positioning and controlled movements of the punch, utilizing suction to stabilize and assist in the extraction process, ultimately improving the safety and efficiency of FUE surgeries.

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.
