    GlossaryHair Follicle Integrity

    overall health and function of hair-producing skin structures

    Hair Follicle Integrity refers to the overall health and proper functioning of the hair follicle, which is the small organ in the skin that produces hair. Maintaining this integrity involves ensuring that the follicle's structure, blood supply, and cellular processes are all working correctly, which is crucial for healthy hair growth and preventing conditions like hair loss or alopecia.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 1 year 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.
