5 / 470 resultscommunity 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 So did the experiments with verteporfin for hair transplant scarring regrowth fall through?
Verteporfin reduces scar tissue in hair transplants but doesn't significantly regrow hair follicles. More testing is needed to determine its effectiveness.
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 Are Derma Rollers Actually Harmful in the Long Run?
Derma rollers may cause scarring alopecia, leading some to prefer dermastamps or dermapens for microneedling. Combining minoxidil with microneedling is effective, but proper technique and healing time are essential to prevent damage.
community 21M with a nasty case of MPB; Heres what's on my radar for the future.
Hopeful treatments for hair loss, including Verteporfin, Androgen Receptor Degradation, and SCUBE3. These treatments offer potential solutions to slow or stop the effects of androgens on the scalp.
