5 / 128 resultscommunity How is verteporfin doing in trials?
The conversation is about the progress of verteporfin in hair loss trials, with users expressing curiosity about its effectiveness and updates. Specific treatments mentioned include FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) combined with verteporfin, with one reported case of donor area regrowth after a year, and three patients being monitored post-treatment by Dr. Bloxham with monthly updates on YouTube.
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 “Unlimited” hair follicles for HT?
Hair loss discussion mentions Verterporfin for scar-free healing and hair follicle regeneration. Human study expected within 2 years.
community Beard to Scalp Hair Transplants - are they any good?
Beard to scalp hair transplants can provide 12,000-15,000 grafts for coverage, with fast recovery time. However, beard hair may grow curly and not suitable for frontal areas.
