    Did you mean Regenerative Potential?
    GlossaryRegenerative Potential

    ability to repair or regrow damaged cells or tissues

    Regenerative potential refers to the ability of cells, tissues, or organs to repair or regrow after damage. In the context of hair and alopecia, it indicates the capacity of hair follicles to regenerate and produce new hair, which is crucial for developing treatments for hair loss conditions. This concept is significant in both medical research and clinical applications, as it underpins the development of therapies aimed at restoring normal function and appearance.

      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.

      Why the top of the head is affected by hair loss more than other areas, and treatments such as surgery, medications like minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 to treat it.
