Verteporfin: "Hair Regeneration" and "Scarless" Hair Transplant Surgery? | Trial at Feller & Bloxham

Dr Blake Bloxham of Feller & Bloxham Medical (https://www.fellermedical.com) shares an exciting update about a trial occurring at Feller & Bloxham medical. Dr. Bloxham is testing Verteporfin, an FDA approved medication used traditionally in the treatment of eye disease such as macular degeneration. Recent research, however, has shown that verteporfin may have applications in both regrowing skin structures such as hair follicles and reducing -- or eliminating -- scarring after a wound. Dr Bloxham explains verteporfin in detail. He goes over the history of the medication, how researchers became interested in trialing it to reduce scarring, and the findings that led to a better understanding of how the body creates fibrosis (scar tissue) and how verteporfin can "shut down" this pathway and theoretically lead to hair follicle regeneration and a reduction in scar tissue. Dr Bloxham then outlines the first leg of a verteporfin trial he performed on July 11th, 2023. In conjunction with our partner in Florida, Dr Richard Powell (http://www.powellhairtransplant.com) Dr Bloxham trialed verteporfin on 3 FUT patients. These patients were unique; different skin-types, different histories (some had prior surgery, some did not), and different amounts of tissue were taken and tested. Some had sections of scar removed, treated with verteporfin and closed again; others had virgin tissue removed, treated with verteporfin, and closed. Differing concentrations (based upon past studies) of the medication were used as well. The trial went well and no complications or adverse effects were seen in any of the patients. Each has followed up over the past 10 days and some interesting findings are already being observed. Dr Bloxham is going to present his entire verteporfin experiment on YouTube. The next video will be a detailed look at the trial itself, followed by updates regarding the immediate post-operative healing, and then staple removal.
