    TLDR The document calls for standardized terms and definitions in hair transplant methods.
    The document from 10 years ago detailed various techniques and terminologies used in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), a hair transplant method. Techniques included Rotating Extraction, Oscillating Extraction, and combinations of both, which involve the rotation of a punch tool to penetrate the skin. Step Methods, such as the One, Two, and Three Step Methods, were described, which involve different sequences of incisions and extractions. Other techniques like Sequential, Coring, Open, Sharp Dissection, and Dull Dissection methods were also explained. The document also defined terms related to the extraction process, such as Axial Force, Tangential Force, Donor Tension, and Follicle Distortion. It also classified punches used in FUE by diameter, cutting edge, and sharpness. The document also discussed the concept of a "Safe Donor Area" from which hair follicles are extracted, and the use of a Donor Area Template to mark these zones.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 5 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.

      The conversation is about the progress of verteporfin in hair loss trials, with users expressing curiosity about its effectiveness and updates. Specific treatments mentioned include FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) combined with verteporfin, with one reported case of donor area regrowth after a year, and three patients being monitored post-treatment by Dr. Bloxham with monthly updates on YouTube.
