GlossaryGestational Age

length of time since the mother's last menstrual period

Gestational Age (GA) refers to the length of time a fetus has been developing in the womb, typically measured from the first day of the mother's last menstrual period (LMP). It is used to assess the growth and development of the fetus and to estimate the due date, with a full-term pregnancy usually lasting about 40 weeks.

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.
