community New study shows that microneedling is an ineffective hair loss treatment
The effectiveness of microneedling as a hair loss treatment, with evidence from studies and anecdotal accounts from other users. It is suggested that combining microneedling with minoxidil or finasteride may be more effective than using microneedling alone, although some people have had success using only microneedling.
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.
