They won't experiment with patients till they are 100% sure it works.

Frustrating to hear that, because If HT surgeons don't do trials, nobody will do it. It's not a new oral drug. Totally different situation. 

Hello guys,

since 2015, the year I (M/32/NW3) realized and lost hope that anything new will appear on the market, no other drug in the pipeline could motivate me to participate again on an HT forum. But since I saw this scarring Vert. trial and with the fact in my mind that I want and need an HT, I follow the news about Vert. regularly. I'm happy that Dr. Barghouthi is so enthusiastic with the trials. I really can't imagine why Verteporfin is not worth the time and effort for other Surgeons, especially when having in mind the chance/risk ratio. In my view, it's a HUGE Unique Selling point, so big that I would fly around the globe for my first HT to a surgeon who use it. When we see some better pictures in the next few months, I would be interested to have my first HT by Dr. Barghouthi.

BTW: had someone contacted some Turkish clinics like Dr. Erdogan/AsMed? 

@Melvin- Admin I saw that you had your last HT in India @Eugenix Hair Science  Could you not convince some doctors there to try?

In my repair procedure, Eugenix Technician who was doing the extraction having discussion with me regarding cricket. At one time he said "kaha se kiya aap, donor pura kharab Kar diya" 

Can somebody translate pls?

I think it needs to come from the patients. Personally, when I go for a HT, I'm going to press the doctor to use it on me. Why not take the chance to expand my donor area? If I get a HT instead without verteporfin, the area which had grafts taken out may never be viable for regrowth again.

Exactly, I have the same thought. I was waiting till the point i really need a HT and I'm old enough (from 2015). I have reached the point to initiate the first steps for my first HT. The cure is far away, but i do not want to miss the opportunity to at least lessen the FUE scars. Also i do not want to wait 5 more years. Good point. I will try to contact my favorite surgeons and present the idea. Do you guys have a guess, how much Verteporfin is needed and how much the cost would be for a 2-3k graft session?

Doing TRT is raising test to healthy levels.  I think it would not have a big impact on someone's Hair while being on fin. The Main damage is caused by DHT. Maybe you could try to ask on BB forums. 

So far I understand the risk is minimal to non-existent. Why more docs would not offer to use Vert if the patient is willing to pay for it? Also, I do not understand why not more HT docs are willing to at least try it.
