research Surgical Management of Scarring Alopecia
Hair loss due to scarring can be treated by reducing inflammation, removing scar tissue, and transplanting hair. The Follicular Unit Extraction technique is effective but requires skill and time. Future focus should be on scar-less healing methods.

research Wound healing in development
Wounds heal without scarring in early development but later result in scars, and studying Wnt signaling could help control scarring.

5 / 229 resultscommunity Verteporfin day 119 update – donor hair regeneration human trial
A human trial of verteporfin, a drug that can inhibit wound healing by scarring and promote regeneration of original tissue and hair follicles to provide an unlimited source for hair transplants; people discussed the potential of this drug and how it could be rolled out in mainstream with more doctors getting on board.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
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.
community New study shows that microneedling is an ineffective hair loss treatment
The effectiveness of microneedling as a hair loss treatment, with evidence from studies and anecdotal accounts from other users. It is suggested that combining microneedling with minoxidil or finasteride may be more effective than using microneedling alone, although some people have had success using only microneedling.
community Verteporfin trials in hair transplant patients begin
A clinical trial for Verteporfin as a hair loss treatment, and the potential for greater progress in treatments for hair loss in the future. Common treatments such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841 were discussed.
community New Study Fails to Show Benefits of Microneedling in Males with Balding.
A new study suggests microneedling alone doesn't benefit male balding, but users argue the study's methods differ from common practices, like combining microneedling with minoxidil and using more frequent treatments. Some believe the study's short duration and infrequent sessions are inadequate to assess microneedling's effectiveness.
