New scientific advancements offer hope for better treatments for skin fibrosis.
research Diverse cellular players orchestrate regeneration after wounding
Different cell types work together to repair skin, and targeting them may improve healing and reduce scarring.

Salicylate helps wounds heal without scarring in mice.
research Enhancing hair follicle regeneration by nonablative fractional laser: Assessment of irradiation parameters and tissue response
Using a fractional laser can stimulate hair growth, but the intensity and duration of inflammation are crucial. Too much can cause ulcers and scarring. Lower beam energy and fewer treatments are recommended to avoid damage.
research Repurposing DPP4-Inhibition to Improve Hair Follicle Activation and Regeneration
Blocking DPP4 can potentially speed up hair growth and regeneration, especially after injury or in cases of hair loss.

5 / 149 resultscommunity The case of a 78 year old man who accidentally regrew his hair (published in the British Medical Journal)
A 78-year-old man regrew hair after suffering burns, suggesting that injury-induced healing processes might trigger hair growth. Microneedling and other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are discussed as potential methods to stimulate similar regrowth.
community Microneedling-induced shedding after 5 months?
A user experienced significant hair loss after starting microneedling, despite using dutasteride and topical minoxidil. They are advised to consult a doctor as the shedding pattern is unusual and may indicate alopecia areata or other scalp conditions.
community I Guess balding is cured so should we close subreddit and move to hairstyling photos 😁 Botox-like nerve blocking reveals potential way to fully regenerate skin without scarring
Baldness is difficult to cure because current treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil only prevent hair shedding, and new developments are mostly ineffective. Botox shows potential in aiding skin regeneration and hair growth, but maintenance therapy with treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil may still be necessary.
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.
community Verteporfin with Microneedling (3mm-3.5mm): Bald to Full Head of Hair? Theory
The conversation is about using Verteporfin with microneedling as a potential hair loss treatment that may regenerate hair follicles with minimal scarring. There are concerns about the optimal dosage and the DHT sensitivity of the new follicles.
