Did you mean Confocal Microscopy?

GlossaryConfocal Microscopy

uses laser light to create detailed, three-dimensional images

Confocal Microscopy, also known as Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM), is an advanced imaging technique that uses laser light to scan samples and create high-resolution, three-dimensional images. By focusing on a specific plane within the sample and excluding out-of-focus light, it provides clearer and more detailed images than traditional microscopy, making it particularly useful for studying complex structures like hair follicles and skin tissues in both research and medical diagnostics.

community Verteporfin and Microneedling

in Treatments 1 year 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.
