    GlossaryRegenerative Capacity

    ability to repair or regrow damaged cells and tissues

    Regenerative capacity refers to the ability of an organism or tissue to repair or replace damaged cells and tissues. In the context of hair, it involves the hair follicles' ability to regrow hair after it has been lost due to injury, disease, or other factors. This capacity varies among different tissues and organisms, with some having a high regenerative potential, like liver tissue, while others, like certain types of nerve cells, have limited ability to regenerate.

      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.
