    Did you mean Regeneration?
    GlossaryRegeneration

    biological process of replacing or restoring lost tissues

    Regeneration refers to the biological process by which organisms replace or restore lost or damaged tissues, organs, or cells. In the context of hair, it involves the renewal of hair follicles and the growth of new hair strands, often influenced by factors like genetics, hormones, and overall health.

      community HairClone: Good info from their site

      in Technology  10 upvotes 2 years ago
      HairClone aims to rejuvenate miniaturizing hair follicles through follicle banking and cell expansion, with treatments potentially available in the UK by 2022. The process involves extracting, storing, and cloning hair follicles, but full regenerative treatments will take many years to develop.

      in Research/Science  30 upvotes 1 year ago
      Dr. Bloxham's trial is testing verteporfin on hair transplant patients to see if it can improve hair regrowth in treated areas. People are discussing the potential for follicle regeneration, expected results timeline, and concerns about side effects like cancer.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 3 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.
