community Verteporfin update - Dr Barghouthi finishes another case
A hair restoration case involved injecting four different doses of Verteporfin into the mid scalp and using Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) around the extraction areas. Photos were taken and an update will be shared soon.
community Why isn’t scalp micropigmentation (SMP) more popular?
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a debated hair loss solution, with some praising its natural look and low maintenance, while others criticize it for looking unnatural and being a temporary fix. Many prefer traditional hair restoration methods like hair transplants or medications such as finasteride and minoxidil.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
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.
