community Verteporfin with Microneedling (3mm-3.5mm): Bald to Full Head of Hair? Theory
The conversation is about using Verteporfin with microneedling as a potential hair loss treatment that may regenerate hair follicles with minimal scarring. There are concerns about the optimal dosage and the DHT sensitivity of the new follicles.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
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 6 month post-transplant, Dr Carman MD surgeon
A user shared their positive experience with a hair transplant performed by Dr. Timothy Carman, using 1100 grafts via FUT surgery, and reported satisfaction with the results and minimal scarring. The user continues to use minoxidil and finasteride for hair maintenance.
community Microneedling scarring or not? Doesn't it make the situation worse?
Microneedling can help with hair loss by inducing collagen if done correctly, but improper technique may cause scarring and worsen the condition. Some users apply dissolved vitamin C before and after microneedling to enhance results.
