Safety of a Perfluorodecalin-Infused Silicone Patch in Picosecond Laser-Assisted Tattoo Removal

User experienced scarring from microneedling at fast speed and paused treatment for 3-4 weeks to recover. Advice given includes waiting a full month for recovery to avoid scars.

The conversation is about the safety of using a dermastamp at 0.25mm depth twice a day when applying Minoxidil. The user seeks confirmation on whether this practice is safe despite mixed opinions.

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 conversation discusses preventing infection from derma stamping for hair loss treatment, with suggestions to reduce needle depth and consider alternatives like tretinoin. The user experienced irritation possibly from zinc chloride and stopped using the shampoo and derma stamping.

The user uses a 1.5mm derma stamp weekly for hair loss and applies minoxidil afterward, feeling a slight burn but no bleeding. They question if bleeding, seen in others using a derma pen, indicates proper technique.

Using a Derma stamp with 3-4 contacts per area in multiple directions is effective for hair growth. A 1.5 mm needle with a week's rest between sessions is recommended for optimal healing and results.
