    TLDR The document concludes that understanding hair loss patterns and careful surgical techniques are key for successful hair transplantation in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
    The document provides an overview of hair transplantation and micrografting techniques for oral and maxillofacial surgeons, emphasizing the importance of understanding male pattern baldness, donor dominance, and the selection of appropriate candidates for transplantation. It discusses the use of punch grafting and the critical aspects of hairline placement, hair direction, and punch diameter size for achieving optimal cosmetic results. The document also highlights the advancements in hair transplantation, including the use of micrografts and minigrafts for a more natural appearance and the meticulous microsurgical technique for single hair follicle transplantation. Postoperative care, including medication, bandaging, and cleansing, is noted to ensure nearly 100% graft survival. The references listed provide additional resources on hair transplantation.

      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.
