5 / 421 resultscommunity 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 Verteporfin with Microneedling (3mm-3.5mm): Bald to Full Head of Hair? Theory
The conversation is about using Verteporfin with microneedling as a potential hair loss treatment that may regenerate hair follicles with minimal scarring. There are concerns about the optimal dosage and the DHT sensitivity of the new follicles.
community 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 Shaved my (transplanted) hair during quarantine
A user shaved their transplanted hair during quarantine and shared positive results after one year, using Minoxidil 5%. They had 1,500 hairs transplanted via the DHI method with no visible scarring.
community Had a hair transplant with Dr. Feriduni - 6850 grafts (6000 from scalp, 850 from chest/beard)
A user had two hair transplant surgeries, using a total of 6850 grafts from the scalp, beard, and chest, costing around $20,000 USD, and is happy with the results, though the crown may not be as dense as the hairline. They experienced no scarring from the donor areas and noted that transplanted beard and chest hair are thicker and curlier.
