research Specific Attention Areas in Scar Management: Specific Scar Management Depending on Anatomical Features (Face, Hair, Breast, Hand, Joints, Foot)
Tailored scar treatments are needed for different body areas to improve appearance and function.
research Minimizing injury to the donor area in follicular unit extraction (FUE ) harvesting
Using normal saline in vertical extraction for hair transplants reduces donor area injury more than acute extraction.
research Hair transplantation in burn scar alopecia
Hair transplantation effectively treats burn scar alopecia, improving self-esteem and confidence.
research Total Excision Techniques in Donor Area Harvesting for Hair Transplanting
The Total Excision Techniques improve hair transplant results by increasing grafts by at least 50% and reducing scarring.
research Conventional Suture Material versus Staplers in the Closure of Donor Area in Hair Transplant. Which is Better?
Both sutures and staplers are equally effective for hair transplant donor area closure, but staplers are faster and easier to use.

5 / 474 resultscommunity Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin
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?
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 Why not move miniaturized hair follicles somewhere else to treat them? Alternative to hair cloning?
Exploring the idea of transplanting miniaturized hair follicles to healthier areas to potentially reverse hair loss, with concerns about DHT sensitivity and scar tissue formation. The conversation also humorously considers using mice for hair growth experiments.
community Can pp405 revive dead follicles for long time bald people? Are those even dead? After 10+ years bald
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.
community Does microneedling not scar the skin or break hairs?
Microneedling for hair loss, with concerns about potential scarring and hair breakage. Recommendations include using 0.5-0.8mm needles, opting for dermastamps or pens, and limiting frequency to twice a month.
