Why didn't you take pictures so we can clearly see its the same place on the leg. This is just close ups of a "patient" in Greece by some "doctor." This can't be taken to heart. It could be true but it doesn't prove anything to anyone

Thank you for clarifying. This answered many questions. I know you can't commit to scientific factual statements regarding the full fue patient since he doesn't want to come forward and do proper analysis but did he have any side effects or any unusual complains regarding healing/etc? Or do you think Verteporforin is too safe to cause any side effects at such low doses?

You're talking to the wrong people on this forum lol pretty sure 98% of us would donate our time and money to a doctor willing to use verteporforin on us. Hence the eagerness of most of us. We're desperately waiting for a green light to go do it ourself. But why 2 years to see a micro trial again? This is beyond rationale and like I said, fundraising is a thing whether you want to believe it or not. Having a trial and passing it off as successful can be manipulated into huge sums of money

Lol that's my point dude. He DID do it and no follow up or no comments from the patient. If the guy knew to track down Barghouthi for Verteporforin surely he's aware of the rest of us on here. Why no updates? And why no full FUE this time around either? This is starting to make me think this is just a fundraiser project at this point

I'm confused why Dr. Barghouthi didn't do a full FUE with Verteporforin. You wouldn't even need the fancy equipment to tell if it works at that point. These small area exercises won't really give us a full indication. It's just too hard to micro point to this and that and say officially it works. Many watching surgeons will be skeptical because of this. dr. B mentioned he did a full FUE with verteporforin once before. Why not ask that patient for a follow up to see if he has the typical FUE scars? Worried that it didn't work hence no follow ups. Not likely someone so invested in verteporforin would go to Jordan to get it done fully and then not care to follow up if the results were amazing

I agree, people forget that we were all hopeful thinking when Barghouthi released his month 4 updates. We were all looking at one hair that we didn't know was excised or not. It wasn't until his final months of updates that we saw a noticeable difference between areas. I think FUE is better for Verteporforin. No matter what I think it's easier for verteporforin to regenerate a tiny hole as opposed to an entire line of skin sown together. Also remember that let's say a 2cm in size skin patch is extracted. Even if verteporforin is perfected and you get 100% regeneration on the scar area, you'll be getting regeneration ON THE LEFTOVER SKIN, not the whole thing as with FUE. So FUE regardless of Bloxhams results is where we should be narrowing our focus. Bloxhams trial however is very important to give us a more clear image of regeneration as the difference is pronounced between treated and untreated.

What was his process? Why is it so difficult. Heard UK just made it OTC too as opposed to prescription only

If Simvastatin is topical wouldn't that be the go to for hair transplants? A simple rub around the head after the extraction portion is done and then get to business with the implants on the recipient area... This whole time I've been thinking if there were any topical formulations of verteporforin. Which drug is general safer? Verteporforin has an excellent safety profile but only in low doses into the eye

So he just did microneedling and used simvastin during the healing? Sorry not familiar with this case. I remember another case of a burn mark on someone's head but first I'm hearing of this guy

How did he apply it? Directly into the wound before stitching or after the stitch on the surface?

I emailed them about it. They never even responded. I also had a consultation with them with their Toronto rep and they seem super skeptical to do large procedures. They're very good at hairlines but I think all clinics that start making alot of money stop caring about Ambition or progression. They start making so much that they don't really focus on anything but catering to the people who pay. Maybe speaking to Hasson or Wong themselves would be better. Their Toronto rep lacked any Ambition at all for even a procedure past 1500 grafts

I've been kind of feeling the same. Like seriously the reasoning is getting out of hand. "Waiting for a machine to be mailed in?" Dude, it doesn't take 5 months for an order to come in. This reminds me of the streamer Jon Zherka who says he'll release his documentary once his computer from Texas comes in the mail. He's been saying that for 8 months lol

I have a consultation with Bloxham soon for a HT. I'll ask him in person if nobody is able to reach him prior or he doesn't post

Why? Dr. Bloxhams last video showed that the verteporforin wounds were healing similar to Barghouthis trials. Meaning the verte injected wounds were pinker and flatter. I remember Dr. B's updates and around month three we had pinker skin and a few mystery hairs that seemed to be growing but we were unsure of them. I expect Dr. Bloxhams 6, 8 and 12 month results to go along the same path as Dr. Barghouthis. Personally i think Dr. Bloxham might achieve better results than Barghouthis first trial but I think FUT is inferior to FUE in the sense that if Verteporforin achieves 50% regeneration that would still be only like 20% for FUT and no noticeable scar because the skin was completely removed from the root whereas FUE the skin remains as it is and the holes will regenerate. Personally I don't get why Dr. Barghouthi is taking so long for his full FUE. If he needs a patient there's probably 100 people on this forum alone that would fly to Jordan for the procedure and update us willingly with pics weekly

Guys what do you think is better here? FUT or FUE? Obviously FUE is less aggressive and if verteporforin was perfected then FUE would make FUT obsolete. But for the current situation I'm thinking FUT could be better because it's one line to heal as opposed to 4000 micro holes. Dr. Bloxhams findings are very hopeful. I remember Dr. Barghouthis initial results were similar, the verteporforin skin was pinker and slower to heal and then have us regeneration later on. I'm eager to see Bloxhams 5+ month results. I think we'll see similar progress plus I feel like currently doctors will be more willing to do FUT + verteporforin as opposed to FUE because of the complexities

Sorry about the tag, I couldn't delete it

@DrTBarghouthi

@DrTBarghouthi was the full fue planned for November 21st executed? Any updates?

The 0.4 test site looks amazing. Looks untouched. That really got my hopes up for future trials. But @drbargouthi are you sure this is the exact test site? The patient wasn't marked with tattoos so that's been my only concern from this test. The full FUE and Dr. Bloxhams FUT will be more definitive and giving of answers. Also, is Verteporforin totally safe? Has the patients complained of any side effects? I know Verteporforin is a muscle building drug mostly used in people's eyes but I was wondering if it's totally safe and side effect free for use in hair transplant in so many different sites.

Somebody get the doctor some Verteporofin supplies so he can do the full hair transplant. Doc, I live in Canada tell me how much you need I will get them for free haha

I think any dosage will do. 0.4 seems fine but I think consistent injections is key rather than just one time. That means multiple trips to Jordan boys. At least the weather is warm Dr. Barghouthi did you use laser to activate the Verteporforin or is laser only used when verte is injected into eyes for muscular degeneration?

Dr. Bargouthi any updates as of yet?

Dr. Barghouthi any updates as of yet?

Amen. Been waiting on an update for a while now

He didn't leave that part out. It's assumed since he said 50 hair grafts implanted. But I thought the breakthrough was hair on scar tissue. That is undoable with Verteporforin I assumed? Maybe I'm wrong. I just thought you couldn't implant on scar tissue hence fut scars. That's why I was interested in his success
