GlossaryDonor Strip

surgical removal of scalp tissue for hair transplantation

A Donor Strip, also known as Strip Harvesting or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), is a hair restoration technique where a strip of scalp tissue containing hair follicles is surgically removed from the back or sides of the head. The individual hair follicles are then extracted from this strip and transplanted to areas experiencing hair loss. This method allows for the transplantation of a large number of grafts in a single session, but it does leave a linear scar at the donor site.

community Verteporfin day 119 update - donor hair regeneration human trial

in Research/Science 32 upvotes 3 years ago

A human trial involving the use of Verteporfin as a treatment for hair loss, which has been ongoing for 119 days with an update on its progress. Treatments such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841 have also been discussed.

community Verteporfin day 119 update - donor hair regeneration human trial

in Research/Science 146 upvotes 3 years ago

A human trial of verteporfin, a drug that can inhibit wound healing by scarring and promote regeneration of original tissue and hair follicles to provide an unlimited source for hair transplants; people discussed the potential of this drug and how it could be rolled out in mainstream with more doctors getting on board.

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?

in Research/Science 6 upvotes 2 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.

community Boys I am just a gonner. What on earth is my scalp even going through. Looks like world war 3. Pyril 3 months. Topical melitonin/progesterone/fin, dut, fin, oral min, laser trash, anus stimulation. Nothing. Donor area is decimated 😂.

community L Doctor criticized my fin usage and suggested minox and HT as alternatives

in Chat 33 upvotes 1 year ago

A doctor criticized the use of Finasteride for hair loss, suggesting Minoxidil and a hair transplant instead, despite the patient experiencing no side effects from Finasteride. The patient disagreed, arguing that Minoxidil doesn't address the root cause and that Finasteride is necessary to protect donor hair in transplants.
