    GlossaryMicroneedle Patch

    small adhesive patch with tiny needles for direct skin treatment

    A Microneedle Patch is a small, adhesive patch embedded with tiny needles that painlessly penetrate the outer layer of the skin to deliver medications, nutrients, or other therapeutic agents directly into the underlying tissues. This method enhances the absorption and effectiveness of treatments, such as those for hair loss or skin rejuvenation, by bypassing the skin's barrier.

      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.
