    minimally invasive hair transplant technique extracting individual hair follicles

    Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from a donor area, typically the back of the scalp, and transplanted to areas experiencing hair loss. This method leaves tiny, almost undetectable scars and allows for a more natural-looking hair restoration compared to older techniques.

      community How is verteporfin doing in trials?

      in Chat  9 upvotes 1 year ago
      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

      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.
