    GlossaryFibroblast Activity

    production of collagen and extracellular matrix by connective tissue cells

    Fibroblast activity refers to the behavior and function of fibroblasts, which are specialized cells in connective tissue that produce collagen and other extracellular matrix components. These cells play a crucial role in wound healing, tissue repair, and maintaining the structural integrity of tissues. Enhanced fibroblast activity can lead to improved skin health and hair growth, while impaired activity may contribute to conditions like scarring or alopecia.

      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.
