if Bausch and Lomb and companies that make the generic version fix the production problem then verteporfin will be more available and any doctor or even layman should be able to get it and use it off label for whatever they need, hair transplants, acne scars, microneedling, etc.

So Dr Bloxham wants to test verteporfin out with microneedling too... interesting

Dr Bloxham dosed his first patient in mid July according to his video log, that means we're in month 5 of his trial, we should hopefully start to see some new hairs soon if verteporfin is working

Pre-recorded is okay, but live would be good too if we get to ask questions

i hope Dr Bloxham's four month trial updates shows alot of progress on the hair regeneration level, at least near or equivalent to Dr Bargouthi's results

I wouldn't get an procedure done without verteporfin at this point...I don't wanna lose my donor hair

i understand the skepticism , i am skeptical too...but didn't Dr Bargouthi also say he wanted to test verteporfin on the recipient area, if he does so, i think he should create a superficial wound before injecting the verteporfin to see if that Creates new follicles or brings back robust terminal hair

that's a good question... that's why it's important that we test it for that, not just hair transplants. Because this could be a revolutionary hair loss cure even without a transplant, but we won't know if it's not tested

i doubt hair if it grows back as terminal robust hair that it will reminiturize so soon, it should be months even years before it reminiturizes.

Heck Yes! the more the merrier....thanks Melvin!

Okay, that seems like a big difference between the four months post pics that i quoted, maybe it was a shed, or maybe it's the different magnifcation. I'm a little confused now

Wow! guys i went back and looked at the around four months mark in Dr Bargouthi's study and you can clearly see the white blotches, where there is little to no hair in the verteporfin treated regions, but now compare that to the latest photos, those white bloches are gone and their is hair everywhere..i dont see any white blotches in the verteporfin treated 0.4 area at all.. Also, this could indicate that Dr Bloxham's trials is following a similar progression, Dr Bargouthi did not see a ton of new hairs in the extracted areas at the 4 month mark i believe, so Dr Bloxham seeing even a couple hairs growing directly out of the wound is a good indication that it's working and we will see more new growth as time goes further and also the patient where Dr Bloxham said he's not seeing much difference between the control and the test at 3 month mark may have shed some of the new hairs and they may grow back soon. Has anyone else made a similar observation.

Guys, I just found out two groups of researchers have conducted a microneedling test with verteporfin, and the conclusion of the studies are encouraging. These were animal studies, but I think this warrants Human experimentation with this technique of applying verteporfin. One of the group of reseachers developed a microneedling patch and outsourced the ingredients from Med Chem Express USA it seems. The studies were conducted on mice and rabbits https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39129-6 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1385894723035970

True, but if it works, you could just keep doing it when the hairs reminiturize...lol Yeah, true it doesn't need a doctor except for a fue punch trial at the recipient site.

No, but that would be a very easy trial to do, you could separate the treatment area into three regions, one where verteporfin is injected directly without any prior wounding, one where the area is lightly wounded first such as thru microneedling and one where there is a deeper fue puncture being made followed by a verteporfin injection, to see if the wound needs to be deep or if it doesn't need to be so for verteporfin to work.. I think that would tick all the boxes for a recipient site trial

if verteporfin works! it's a Godsend for weak donors and diffuse thinners also and anyone with massive hair loss but not enough donor for full coverage with traditional HT, they will be a able to achieve full coverage ... everyone will be able to become a Norwood zero the way it's supposed to be

on top of photos, maybe Dr Bargouthi can also get an updated new lab analysis done on the donor test areas, so we can accurately measure and know tbe level of regrowth by percentage of hair follicles regrown in the test areas

There is still another issue, that this drug is hard to get, that's a major problem, we need to do something about that, because we can demand the surgeons use verteporfin, but how will they get it, not everyone is going to be able to go through all the hoops that Dr Bargouthi and Dr Bloxham had to do to get their hands on the stuff, so what do we do about that.

it's November fellas! i wonder what trials Dr Bargouthi has planned next, if he will be doing the full fue, or recipient area testing or both! And Dr Bloxham will probably be uploading his 3 month result video soon too! Man! this is so very exciting! 😊

the only question i have is if we wound the top of the head and apply verteporfin and the hair grows back there, will it be subject to androgens and mpb, and if so, how long will it take to make the follicles start shrinking again.. If that answer is years, it's totally worth doing it every few years...

Here is the original photos of the patients donor after extraction i believe. Dr Bargouthi has been keeping us updated every step of the way.

He's already shown pictures of before... he's been documenting with pictures since the beginning of the experiment. Dr Bargouthi has been very consistent with updating both with pictures, and data including a lab analysis.

Apart from the hair regeneration, which is pretty obvious from the comparison, It's amazing too how there is virtually no scars in the 0.4T and 0.32T verteporfin tested area pics wow! Even on the 0.24T test pics you can see that it looks different, less scarring. Wowowow!

Guys, we should have a verteporfin + microneedling test done on a completely bald region on the top of the head test with verteporfin. Would be interesting if it works on completely bald areas as well. Maybe we should get a bottle on a group buy and test it

i am absolutely floored by the 0.4T pics! wow! just amazing. Thank you so much Doctor Bargouthi for doing these trials @DrTBarghouthi
