Derma rollers may cause scarring alopecia, leading some to prefer dermastamps or dermapens for microneedling. Combining minoxidil with microneedling is effective, but proper technique and healing time are essential to prevent damage.
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 Topical Metformin for Hair Transplant donor area skin/hair regeneration?
Topical Metformin shows potential for regenerating hair follicles and minimizing scarring in hair transplant donor areas, similar to Verteporfin but without its side effects. The discussion suggests considering Metformin for post-hair transplant care, though more human trials are needed.
