TLDR A hair transplant using hair from the back of the head and pubic area was successful in creating a feminine hairline for a male-to-female transgender person.

A male-to-female transgender individual with androgenic alopecia underwent a successful Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant, using 927 follicular units (FUs) from the occipital scalp and 405 FUs from the pubic area, totaling 1,332 FUs. The procedure aimed to create a feminine hairline and was deemed successful nine months later. The document also discusses the importance of good skin quality at the transplant site and the use of skin crease slits to minimize trauma. It introduces the concept of Line Thai Micro Hairline for a natural look and maximal density, and provides a scale for FU density. The document concludes that FUE can be used for hair growth, thickening, or new construction in both men and women, including for feminizing the hairline in transgender individuals.

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.
