    protein providing skin structure and elasticity

    Dermal collagen is a protein found in the dermis, the middle layer of the skin, that provides structural support and elasticity. It helps maintain skin strength and firmness, playing a crucial role in wound healing and overall skin health. As we age, the production of dermal collagen decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 6 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.
