community Vertoporfin research update by Dr Bloxham
The conversation discusses the potential of verteporfin in treating hair loss, with some users reporting positive results and speculating that it could lead to a cure for baldness. Others are skeptical, and there's a debate on the effectiveness of verteporfin for regrowing hair and reducing transplant scars.
community So the cure for Nw7 is verteporfin
Verteporfin, used with dermal incisions by doctors like Dr. Melissa Toyos, is suggested as a promising treatment for high Norwood hair loss, with some users reporting significant regrowth.

community What happened with verteporfin?
Verteporfin, combined with microneedling, shows promise for hair regrowth by allowing hair follicles to grow in wounds, but it's expensive and painful. Pai-1 inhibitors may also help prevent hair loss by degrading fibrosis, and some users continue using minoxidil alongside these treatments.
community New Preprint: Retinoic Acid Supports Verteporfin-Induced Regeneration
Verteporfin followed by retinoic acid improves wound regeneration in mini-pigs. Retinoic acid does not significantly enhance regeneration in rabbits.

1 / 801 results- What is Verteporfin, and why is it being studied for hair follicle regeneration? Verteporfin is being studied for hair follicle regeneration due to its ability to inhibit YAP, promoting tissue healing.
- Can Verteporfin reduce scarring in alopecia or improve hair regrowth after hair transplant surgery? Verteporfin currently lacks clinical evidence for reducing scarring or improving hair regrowth.
- Is Verteporfin used as a topical treatment, injection, or oral medication for hair loss? Verteporfin is an intravenous drug approved only for an eye condition; it is not approved for hair loss in any form. In the few published hair reports it was injected into the scalp alongside surgical wounding — unverified case reports of one and two patients, not trial evidence.
