Have we discussed about Verteporfin here? What do you all think about it? Apparently it could lead to unlimited donor hair

There's a full thread about this and study being run by a doctor. My personal feeling is it isn't going to be revolutionary as regrowing all your donor hair or a majority. I would say at best and being optimistic it will regrow probably no more than 15% of hair and the primary benefit will be in scar healing to be less white dots and more pigmented to help blend in. The cost for that will be up in the air but likely not cheap. 

I think it's going to be useful if it's not too expensive as an add on for HT patients but the limited scope of the study makes it hard to really see how it may benefit most people too. Although it holds some promise.
