When injected into a wound, verteporfin induces healing with minimal scarring. What we've seen so far from Dr. B's trial is that when you inject verteporfin into a wound caused by a hair extraction (via FUE), the skin will heal with minimal scarring and even produce a new hair follicle to replace the one that was extracted. It remains to be seen if this process can be done repeatedly on the same scalp area. If so, this would allow surgeons to harvest donor areas as much as needed to reverse balding and even bring back adolescent hairlines if desired.
