    TLDR The document concludes with the creation of a Hair Transplant Foundation after reviewing the early hair transplant techniques and discussions from a forum.
    The document reviewed the early issues of Hair Transplant Forum International, established in 1990, which played a key role in the formation of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) in 1992. The forum discussed various hair transplantation techniques, including minigrafts, micrografts, and the use of plugs and scalp reductions. It also facilitated the exchange of ideas on best practices, such as the orientation of grafts, the use of multi-bladed knives, and the application of minoxidil for faster hair growth. The first controlled trial of minoxidil in 20 patients was mentioned, as well as the introduction of the concept of "Follicular Units". The document also covered debates on the use of lasers, scalp reductions, and large graft sessions. The use of oral finasteride in Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) was presented, and the Nido Corporation of Japan presented several papers on Artificial Hair. The document concluded with the establishment of a Hair Transplant Foundation.

      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.
