- Dr. Barghouthi @VertexHairClinic joins the podcast to discuss his recent human trial update on Verteporfin. He also gave us a sneak peek into his plans to continue the trial on other patients with various other histological protocols to ensure no biases.
Next year the Hair Transplant Network plans on having a virtual conference open to the public; we hope to have Dr. Barghouthi at this conference and have offered to crowdsource the funding to have the patients from his clinical trial go to the ISHRS conference in 2023. Seeing these individuals in person and examining their donors would be amazing.

Great interview Melvin. Extremely promising with some hopeful applications. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely promising
Man I know it’s too early and it may never work, but I hope this is something that can be used to regenerate skin from scarring alopecia in the future. 🙏🏽 🙏🏽
Let’s hope
Fuck yea man we got ourselves a cure boys
I wouldn’t say its a cure just yet
@@boblully5053
Lol nah
Those hairs are too sparse and thin to qualify it as a cure. Even with time I doubt they will improve past what we see now. Dr. Barghouthi needs to refine the method he's using and maybe even add something mixed with the Verteporfin to produce thicker and more abundant hair. What is has made is progress and now he needs to improve upon what he's accomplished. I can say he is at least doing something to cure hair loss. Most of these doctors do nothing even if they have ideas because they're afraid of being targeted by the FDA or having their reputations ruined if something goes wrong.

I was exaggerating I know it’s not a cure yet
What will really make this a cure is if it stops scalp scarring from androgenic alopecia.
I hope that many clinics will offer it in the near future to avoid FUE scars at least.
My hope or wish is for Dr. Barghouthi to do a Verteporfin trial on someone with burnt-out scarring alopecia like pseudopelade of brocq. I'm not a scientist but the idea to microneedle the heck out of the scarred area and inject the whole area with Verteporfin mixed with some fibroblast growth factors and see what quality of hairs can be generated.
That’s a good point. Maybe Dr. Barghouthi could test this in the recipient area as well.
@@HairTransplantNetwork Since you're in regular communication with Dr. Barghouthi, might you pass along my idea to him?
As someone who deals with scarring alopecia I second this! It’s time we got a solution in todays world of achievement and technological advancements!
@@astroboy9668 Amen, amen, amen! What do you suspect caused yours? My situation is terrible in that I know I have scarring alopecia and the derms are too stupid to notice. Frustrating!
@@emilphoryew9436 I believe a few years ago I went through a stressful period which I haven’t experienced before, wish I tackled it earlier but dermatologists are useless like you said. Gave me nothing but antibiotics and honestly, it did help but I was not down for the whole “for life” thing where I destroy my gut and face irreversible side effects (which I did experience lmao). But honestly I know there’s no study yet on diet changes but it has kept inflammation down. Let’s pray that a solution is around the corner for us!
Would you hold off on getting a hair transplant until this treatment is more available? I'm going to meet with a surgeon soon and I don't think I should go forward with it unless they will use this treatment.
This treatment is at its very early stages, I wouldnt bet on it
I wouldn’t hold off
I definitely would wait. Don't understand the ones who knows about it and recommand otherwise. It shows already really promising signs. If you could, at worst, have less scarring, and at best, new regrowth in the donor, why would you go ahead and not use Verteporfin while you could have benefit from it if you have waited a bit ?
Don’t you get it? You could go back transplant new hairs into your old donor area then regrow new hair in the new donor area. Duh 😂 relax all in good fun
@@Rickchy always better to regrow hair than try to make it grow in a scar tissue, even though, that's also a possibility
If verteporfin can regrow hair, then can it also help in maintain existing hair ?
is the injury of extraction hypothesized to be required in conjunction with verteporfin to enable the drug to have its regenerative effect? if not, what is to stop verteporfin from regenerating follicles on other parts of the scalp (e.g., the transplant recipient site).
Yes, it is required to block the scarring pathway and lead to hair regeneration.
The hair follicles on the top of the scalp are sensitive to dht. So it doesn’t really matter if you inject verteporfin on the top of the scalp cause those follicles are still gonna get fucked by dht
How much it takes to generate 100 brand new follicles after application.
Theoretically, 100 wounds
How long till the results will be final?
I don’t think anybody knows for sure but this next update will be aligned with when the result from the pig study was extracted in the preview they gave in the Holman22 lecture (16 weeks). It could be at 16 weeks in humans (10/9/22) OR it could take longer. Keep in mind, this is only the first human experiment. Also note that it seemed skin elasticity and other markers were trending upwards in improvement when the result was taken at wk16 so even in pigs it could have improved after 16 weeks. However Hopefully week 16 results and beyond will prove great efficacy.
Give it another 8 months
I will have full head of hair in 5 years
May it be so, I hope you're right. It's time to end baldness already. Too many people have been psychologically ruined by it. I am one of them.
@@emilphoryew9436 Honestly mate dont get your hopes up, i dont think anything will change.
Yea, it’s promising but not there yet
@@HairTransplantNetwork its not going to happen, as there is millions to be made.
Is there gonna be a 6 months update ?
The official thread has regular updates each month. www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/64737-verteporfin-hair-regeneration-human-trial-dr-barghouthi-official-thread/
Hey what are the potential costs of a full on FUE with verteporfin with lets say 2000 grafts. Also wouldn’t this require 100’s of mg of verteporfin? How safe would that be considering 15mg was the standard. Dose for visudyne. I’d appreciate if you can ask these questions next time
I don’t know if there will be additional cost. You can ask Dr. Barghouthi info@vertexhair.com
Will this work for people with FUE scars from hair transplants years ago?
No only fresh scars
@@HairTransplantNetwork That’s not necessarily true. There was a person posting on Realself about how a small part of the side of his face got burned and scarred and lost some beard hairs, a year later he treated it with Verteporfin and hair started growing back
Nice 👍.

Watch how this disappears because they cannot make as much money on it
