5 / 145 resultscommunity Why Is Only Tressless Talking About Verteporfin? Healing Wounds With Zero Scarring Has Gargantuan Implications For All of Medicine. So What Gives?
The potential of verteporfin to heal wounds without scarring; however, despite its promising preclinical trials and coverage from a major media outlet, there is still no official clinical trial result and the drug has only garnered attention from hair loss communities.
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 Clearing the air on how non-surgical treatments really work
Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stem cells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.
