Definetly a chance it needs more time. In the presentation of pig study with verteporfin they found that the elasticity increased from week 12 till week 16, when they ended the study. So they believe regenerative remodeling started from week 12.
Also the FAKI study from 2022 stated that there was an early anti inflammatory effekt and a late regenerative effekt. So the verteporfin wounds could have potential to remodel still. And if the hairs are really regenerated then most likely the skin should be regenerating too.
