GlossaryGestational Diabetes Mellitus

condition where pregnancy causes high blood sugar levels

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy when the body cannot produce enough insulin to meet the increased needs, leading to high blood sugar levels. It typically resolves after childbirth but requires careful management to prevent complications for both the mother and the baby, such as preterm birth or high birth weight.

community Verteporfin and Microneedling

in Treatments 3 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.
