    GlossaryFibroblasts (Human Fibroblast Cells)

    specialized cells that produce and maintain connective tissue

    Fibroblasts are specialized cells found in connective tissue that play a crucial role in wound healing and tissue repair. They produce and maintain the extracellular matrix, which provides structural support to tissues, and are essential for the synthesis of collagen, a key protein that helps maintain skin elasticity and strength.

      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.
