    uppermost dermal layer with blood vessels and nerve endings

    The papillary dermis is the uppermost layer of the dermis, which is the thick layer of skin beneath the outer epidermis. It contains thin collagen fibers, small blood vessels, and nerve endings, playing a crucial role in supplying nutrients to the epidermis and regulating temperature. This layer also contributes to the skin's tactile properties and helps in wound healing.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 1 year 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.
