TLDR The KEBOT system is a highly accurate AI tool for analyzing hair transplants.

In 2020, a study introduced the KEBOT system, an artificial intelligence-based tool for analyzing Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplantation. The system was designed to provide detailed pre-operation and post-operation analysis, aiding in operation planning and success assessment. It used a robotic arm and AI-based analysis to detect all follicles pre-operation and all extracted and placed grafts post-operation. It also calculated hair thickness and the Coverage Value (CV) for the whole head. The system was trained using 200 images from 43 patients and showed high accuracy in follicular unit detection, with a negligible error level of less than 5%. The study concluded that the KEBOT system could be successfully used in hair transplantation operations.

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.

community How is verteporfin doing in trials?

in Chat 9 upvotes 1 year ago

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.
