    substances designed to interact with biological systems for medical use

    Biomaterials are substances engineered to interact with biological systems for medical purposes, such as implants, prosthetics, or tissue engineering. They can be made from metals, ceramics, polymers, or natural materials, and are designed to be biocompatible, meaning they do not cause adverse reactions when introduced into the body.

      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.
