    surgical repair of damaged or missing scalp tissue

    Scalp reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing and restoring the scalp's appearance and function after trauma, disease, or surgery, such as tumor removal. It often involves techniques like skin grafts, tissue expansion, or flap surgery to cover defects and promote healing, ensuring both aesthetic and functional outcomes.

      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.
