community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin

in Chat 25 upvotes 2 years ago

A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.

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 Can pp405 revive dead follicles for long time bald people? Are those even dead? After 10+ years bald

in Treatment 47 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles but is unlikely to help with long-term baldness where follicles are replaced by scar tissue. It is seen as a potential adjunct to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but its effectiveness on deeply fibrotic or scarred areas is doubtful.
