TLDR FUE is a popular hair restoration method that uses body hair and leaves no scars.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) was becoming a popular method for hair restoration due to its advantage of leaving no linear scars, making it suitable for harvesting hair from various body areas such as the beard, chest, and extremities in hirsute individuals. Although body hair characteristics might not completely match scalp hair, body hair transplantation could be effectively used alone or with scalp hair in advanced baldness, to improve hairlines, and in cases of scarring alopecia with limited donor scalp hair. This technique required more time and skill but provided a new donor source for hair restoration, particularly in advanced androgenetic alopecia cases.

community Verteporfin and Microneedling

nkrata in Treatments 1 year 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.
