    GlossaryScarless Wound Healing

    process where tissue repairs without forming a scar

    Scarless wound healing refers to the process by which the body repairs tissue damage without forming a scar. This type of healing is typically seen in fetal development and involves a complex interplay of cellular and molecular mechanisms that promote tissue regeneration rather than fibrosis. For professionals, it is of particular interest because understanding these mechanisms could lead to advanced treatments for improving wound healing in adults.

      community Verteporfin day 119 update - donor hair regeneration human trial

      in Research/Science  146 upvotes 2 years ago
      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.

      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.
