    GlossaryHair Follicle Cell Proliferation

    process of cells rapidly dividing within hair follicle

    Hair follicle cell proliferation refers to the process by which cells within the hair follicle rapidly divide and multiply. This cellular activity is crucial for hair growth and regeneration, as it replenishes the cells that form the hair shaft and surrounding structures. For professionals, understanding this process is key to developing treatments for hair loss conditions like 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.
