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 What other factors than DHT causes hair loss – and what to do about it?
Factors that can cause hair loss other than DHT, such as inflammation and diet, and potential treatments like scalp massages, minoxidil, citrulline, stretches, meditation, iron sulfate/Vitamin C, Vitamin D, protein and Dutasteride.
community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
community 8 month journey. 43 years old.
A 43-year-old shared an 8-month hair regrowth journey using oral minoxidil, dutasteride, topical minoxidil, ketoconazole shampoo, and lifestyle changes. Commenters noted he looked good both with hair and bald.
community Lipisomal Solution (Dutasteride / Tretinoin & Minoxidil & Tretinoin) Horror Story Warning
Using liposomal solutions with dutasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin worsened hair loss due to buildup and scalp issues. Consulting a professional and returning to simpler treatments like finasteride and minoxidil improved the situation.
