Verteporfin may improve hair transplant outcomes and reduce scarring, potentially allowing patients to avoid finasteride. Dr. Barghouthi seeks collaborations, volunteers, and financial support for research on verteporfin.org.
community Verteporfin day 119 update - donor hair regeneration human trial
A human trial of verteporfin, a drug that can inhibit wound healing by scarring and promote regeneration of original tissue and hair follicles to provide an unlimited source for hair transplants; people discussed the potential of this drug and how it could be rolled out in mainstream with more doctors getting on board.
community It’s crazy how it’s 2018 and the only hair loss treatments we have feature undesirable side effects and/or aren’t even effective for many people.
Hair loss treatments, including minoxidil, dermarolling, finasteride, dutasteride, hair transplants, hair systems, and shaving the head. The conversation covers various opinions on these treatments and mentions possible side effects as well as alternatives like wigs, vitamins, and lifestyle changes. The post expresses disappointment that there has been no major breakthrough in the field of hair loss treatments despite decades of research.
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 day 84 update - donor hair regeneration human trials
A human trial involving verteporfin for hair regeneration, with the results showing some regrowth of 1-2 hairs in an area where a follicular unit was extracted. The conversation also suggested that future studies should involve higher doses and more frequent injections.
