The review suggests that there are various treatments to help restore skin color after severe burns.
research Optimal skin regeneration after full thickness thermal burn injury in the spiny mouse, Acomys cahirinus
The spiny mouse can fully regenerate skin after burns, unlike the lab mouse.
research Advanced therapies of skin injuries
New skin substitutes for treating severe burns and chronic wounds are being developed, but a permanent solution for deep wounds is not yet available commercially.
research Sericin hydrogels promote skin wound healing with effective regeneration of hair follicles and sebaceous glands after complete loss of epidermis and dermis
Sericin hydrogels heal skin wounds well, regrowing hair and glands with less scarring.
research Injury modifies the fate of hair follicle dermal stem cell progeny in a hair cycle‐dependent manner
Injury changes how hair follicle stem cells behave, depending on the hair growth stage.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity The case of a 78 year old man who accidentally regrew his hair (published in the British Medical Journal)
A 78-year-old man regrew hair after suffering burns, suggesting that injury-induced healing processes might trigger hair growth. Microneedling and other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are discussed as potential methods to stimulate similar regrowth.
community Microneedling must reach the stem cells in the upper hair shaft
Microneedling should target depths of 0.5mm to 1.5mm for hair loss, with weekly sessions at 1mm recommended. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil is common for improved results.
community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
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 Finally decided to buzz my head after experiencing hair loss since I was 17 (23 now). I think it looks decent, swipe to see what I was rocking before during the pandemic. Who knows maybe I’ll hop on fin but as someone who struggles with chronic fatigue and low test I’m hesitant.
