    GlossaryScarless Healing

    process where tissue repairs without forming scar tissue

    Scarless healing, also known as regenerative healing, refers to the process by which the body repairs damaged tissues without forming scar tissue. This type of healing restores the tissue to its original structure and function, unlike typical wound healing that often results in fibrous scar tissue. Scarless healing is observed in certain animals and in human fetal development, and it is a significant area of research for improving wound care and regenerative medicine.

      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 Minoxidil and concern about cats

      in Minoxidil  5 upvotes 9 months ago
      Minoxidil is highly toxic to cats, and even small amounts can be fatal. The user decided against using topical minoxidil due to the risk to their cats and considered oral minoxidil and ketoconazole shampoo as alternatives.

      community Dutasteride and partner swallowing- any risks?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  18 upvotes 2 days ago
      Dutasteride in semen is considered a very small risk for partners, and fertility typically improves after stopping the medication. It is recommended to stop Dutasteride 3-6 months before trying to conceive to avoid potential impacts on fertility and fetal development.
