    TLDR The 2015 ISHRS workshop in Denver successfully improved training for hair restoration surgery assistants.
    The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) held a workshop for assistants in Denver in 2015, aimed at providing up-to-date information on the various tasks involved in hair restoration surgery. The workshop was designed to improve the training process for new staff, which traditionally relied on older members teaching new ones, a method that could perpetuate errors and was not usually open to new ideas and instruments. The assistants' role in hair restoration surgery, under the surgeon's oversight, includes dissecting, trimming, preserving, and implanting grafts while maintaining their full viability. The workshop was reported to have been successful.

      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.

The trial aims to provide robust data, with results expected in 1-2 years, potentially representing a significant advancement since finasteride’s introduction in 1997.

      A user shared a 6-month update on hair regrowth using Minoxidil 5% liquid twice daily and Finasteride 1mg once daily, along with weekly use of a 1mm Derma roller for 5 weeks. They are pleased with the fuller hair and plan to continue Minoxidil but may temporarily stop Finasteride when trying for a baby.
