GlossaryPregnancy (Gestation)

period of carrying a developing fetus inside the uterus

Pregnancy, also known as gestation, is the period during which a fertilized egg develops into a fetus inside a woman's uterus, typically lasting about 40 weeks from the last menstrual period to childbirth. This process involves significant physiological changes in the mother's body to support the growing fetus, including hormonal shifts, increased blood volume, and changes in organ function.

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.
