community Verteporfin and Microneedling

in Treatments 1 year 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.

in Minoxidil 2504 upvotes 1 month ago

Minoxidil is highly toxic to cats and can cause fatal heart issues. Users recommend switching to oral minoxidil to protect pets.

community Rate Cbum hair transplant after 1 year

in Transplants 423 upvotes 3 days ago

The hair transplant has a straight, unnatural-looking hairline that many find unappealing. The person is not using finasteride or minoxidil, which may affect future hair retention.

community Increased Coffee intake resulted in massive shed

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 17 upvotes 8 months ago

Increased coffee intake might be linked to hair shedding, but the cause is unclear. The user is on finasteride and has increased water intake, possibly affecting electrolyte balance.
