    GlossaryDermal Fibroblasts (skin fibroblast cells)

    specialized skin cells that produce collagen and aid healing

    Dermal fibroblasts are specialized cells found in the dermis, the middle layer of the skin. They play a crucial role in wound healing and the production of collagen and other extracellular matrix components, which provide structural support and elasticity to the skin.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 6 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.
