community Topical Metformin for Hair Transplant donor area skin/hair regeneration?

4 upvotes 1 year ago

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.

community What if a NW7 transplanted the rest of their hair into a "mohawk" pattern and did SMP on the side and back of their head?

14 upvotes 5 months ago

community Dr. Bloxham Final verteporfin update

61 upvotes 1 year ago

Verteporfin is being explored for its potential to improve hair transplant outcomes by reducing scarring and increasing donor hair follicles. There is skepticism about the results, with some claiming misleading presentation of evidence.

community Random thought that I don't think I have seen here yet. If Verteporfin is able to stop scar formation successfully in humans to a large degree (assuming future studies show this), wouldn't this basically open up the door for it being a no brainer for strong NW2s and 3s to opt for hairline lowering?

5 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses the potential for Verteporfin to reduce scarring, making hairline lowering surgeries more viable for men with mild hair loss. The user suggests that if scarring can be minimized, men might opt for hairline lowering instead of using grafts for other areas.
