Use of Verteporfin to Regrow Hair and Reduce Fibrosis After Transplantation

Hair loss discussion mentions Verterporfin for scar-free healing and hair follicle regeneration. Human study expected within 2 years.

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.

The post and conversation discuss Verteporfin's potential as a hair loss treatment. It's shown promise in regrowing hair after transplants and might be effective with microneedling.

The conversation discusses the need for more support and awareness for Verteporfin research in hair loss treatment, emphasizing its potential benefits and quick implementation due to existing FDA approval. Users express skepticism due to past scams but acknowledge the importance of encouraging doctors to conduct trials.

The post discusses speeding up verteporfin trials for hair loss treatment. The original poster, involved in the trials, requests help in crowdsourcing doctor emails to spread awareness and gather more support for the trials.
