      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 5 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.

      A 25-year-old has used minoxidil for 7 years, finasteride for 2 years, oral minoxidil and dutasteride for 3 months, and also tried microneedling and nizoral. They are considering a hair transplant but are concerned about being a good candidate due to potential retrograde alopecia.
