Did he mix it with minoxidil ? 3) How do we know this is not just some troll ? Statins are tried and tested safe drugs. Maybe some HT doctor can put it on one single FUE scar and see what happens. That FUE scar can be encircled with some SMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's a troll, he has nothing to gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know him from a German hair loss forum. He has problems with scars and has resorted to simvastatin due to supply shortages of verteporfin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simvastatin is also a Yap-inhibitor like Verteporfin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally understand and I will update you with details by the end of this week- We are going ahead and nothing changed in terms of that. Thank you so much @DrTBarghouthi will you be updating us on the new trial today; has the date been set, how many patients is it. Will you be doing a recipient area trial or a full fue trial?

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member TakeAction Posted January 22 Regular Member Share Posted January 22 What's the general consensus on whether verteporfin could work for old scars? By excising them and creating a new wound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member sr1486 Posted January 23 Regular Member Share Posted January 23 5 month update is out, so about from a month ago: I only watched the last couple minutes because it’s bedtime for me. There is obviously some regrowth, but doesn’t seem like a ton. Hopefully much more at 6-7 months 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be regrowth but def not as pronounced as Dr. Barghouthi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member bigmistake Posted January 23 Regular Member Share Posted January 23 Even if verteporfin leads no new hair follicle in FUT, but leads to significant reduction of scar tissue then that is a win. Why don't people get FUT ? Because of linear scars. What will happen if there is no linear scar ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be trying both, don’t bias the research towards your preference for FUE. There is undoubtedly regrowth now in the FUT trial. It’s also narrow sighted because there are more application for healing of linear scars in regards to injuries to the skin, surgical wounds, burns, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
