    GlossaryHair Follicle Regeneration

    process of repairing or renewing damaged hair follicles

    Hair Follicle Regeneration refers to the process by which damaged or inactive hair follicles are repaired or renewed, allowing them to produce new hair. This can occur naturally through the body's own healing mechanisms or be stimulated through medical treatments and therapies, such as stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, or certain medications. This process is crucial for addressing conditions like alopecia and other forms of hair loss.

      David Barreto shared that a London-based research group is conducting a 12-month trial for a new nutraceutical treatment for pattern hair loss, designed with Dr. Carlos Puig. The trial aims to provide robust data, with results expected in 1-2 years, potentially representing a significant advancement since finasteride’s introduction in 1997.

      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.
