      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 1 year 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.

      community Dutasteride thrice weekly beats finasteride. But daily?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  31 upvotes 3 months ago
      Dutasteride taken three times a week is more effective for hair regrowth than daily finasteride, with fewer side effects. Some users combine dutasteride and finasteride for better results, while others prefer dutasteride alone due to its longer half-life and potential fertility concerns.
