Thank you for trying, every attempt is highly appreciated. As far as I know, verteporfin requires some preparation before use (by injecting a liquid). If you are planning to test microneedling + verteporfin for more than one time, then you will probably have to store the diluted verteporfin (unless there is a way to dilute only a portion of the powder in the vial). If I am not mistaken, there are different storage conditions for verteporfin as a powder and as a liquid. There are also limitations regarding sun exposure, so you will probably have to cover the area or stay indoors for some time. I am just throwing my 2 cents here hoping to help you during the planning phase. Good luck with your experiment!

Thank you for all your efforts so far Dr. Barghouthi, your contribution in this research is priceless. Also, thank you Melvin for all the necessary arrangements for the publicity of this topic. Just a thought from my side, given that you will continue the trials with other dosages, it would be interesting to see if this medicine works for scars too. I know this thread is focused on hair restoration but I believe that if scar-free healing results are published then lots of doctors will jump in to contribute to this research. The world has not yet seen any official results of scar free healing in humans. Specifically, you could make some small incisions (i.e. 4-5 mm) in an part of the patient's body that is not easy to see (i.e. the inner side of the thighs) and create a test site as well as a control site, similarly to what has been done so far. Even if it doesn't work, these small scars will not be visible. If I were the patient I would happily agree to this test, even if anyone happened to see these small scars I would honorably say that I contributed to one of the most groundbreaking researches of our time - and who knows it might as well work.
