research Elastic Staining in Differentiating Between Follicular Streamers and Follicular Scars in Horizontal Scalp Biopsy Sections
EVG staining helps tell apart follicular scars from follicular streamers, aiding in diagnosing different types of hair loss.
research Follicular Streamers (Stelae) in Scarring and Non-Scarring Alopecia
Hair root sheaths are more common in non-scarring hair loss and help diagnose the type of hair loss.
research Follicular Density and Ratios in Scarring and Nonscarring Alopecia
Nonscarring alopecia has higher hair density than scarring alopecia, and hair density can help diagnose the type of alopecia.
research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution
Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition with inflammation and scarring, resembling but distinct from common balding.

5 / 171 resultscommunity Verteporfin day 84 update - donor hair regeneration human trials
A human trial involving verteporfin for hair regeneration, with the results showing some regrowth of 1-2 hairs in an area where a follicular unit was extracted. The conversation also suggested that future studies should involve higher doses and more frequent injections.
community Vicious male pattern baldness TINGLING ITCH!
A user struggles with male pattern baldness and a persistent tingling itch on their crown, trying various treatments like aloe vera, tea tree oil, and Nizoral without success. Another user suggests the itch might be psychosomatic, linked to worrying about hair loss.
community Has anyone asked a hair transplant surgeon to consider using verteporfin during their surgery?
Exploring the potential of using verteporfin during hair transplants to minimize scarring and regenerate follicles, as well as discussing a possible standardized protocol for this treatment.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
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.
community Clearing the air on how non-surgical treatments really work
Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stem cells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.
