Has the trial happened? Check the hair chemist channel on youtube. He did his 5th FUT using vert this time last Thursday. We should know in a couple of months if it works. No news about Dr Bargouthi own trial tho he actually supervised The chemist trial. Also nothing from dr bloxham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 2, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted June 2, 2023 BREAKING NEWS! @Dr. Felipe Pittella has agreed to start a Verteporfind trial. I'm trying to connect him to Dr. Barghouthi so he can source Verteporfin. If you have additional contacts that can source Verteporfin, please contact me. Discussion of Verteporfin starts at 10:00 minutes. Feel free to share this podcast on various platforms. I aim to have at least 5-6 doctors running simultaneous trials and then hold a conference sometime in late 2024 or early 2025. 14 Quote I was just an inch away from booking a a hairmill based on google reviews before i stumbled upon this goldmine of a forum.

Regular Member MrFox Posted June 4, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 4, 2023 @Melvin- Moderator Do you have any plans on trying to get non hair transplant surgeons on board? Perhaps broadening out to some plastic surgeons might be worthwhile. At the very least the drug significantly reduces scarring, I can't imagine there isn't a cosmetic plastic surgeon who wouldn't be interested. It might be beneficial to see the drug work on a part of the skin without the intention being hair replication, but rather skin regeneration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member alopeciaphobia Posted June 8, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) Absolutely amazing, Melvin. Just amazing. So many of us without the network and the connections have been wondering that there must be a couple of courageous doctor's out there who are as intrigued by this as we are. But we couldn't do much about it, no matter how much we wanted. But you did it! And I'm just so thankful for that, because quite frankly there aren't many others who could've! Really really really hope this one goes through, so we can learn more about the ideal dosage. Once the ideal dosage has been established, I'd like to take the plunge and get the treatment myself. I'd fly back and forth across the world a few times for checkups if I have to. Agree with the people above that getting a doctor with a large following, like Linkov, on board could be key to skyrocketing awareness of this. Haircafe and hairliciously etc can post about this all they want, but if someone with professional credibility would start talking about this, other doctors will be less likely to brush this off as yet another broscience miracle cure.

Regular Member Jonathan Posted June 8, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 8, 2023 So no update from @DrTBarghouthi yet. Maybe it’s good news, he did say some companies were interested in funding a trial maybe he can’t say anything and that’s why he hasn’t updated us yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. @Melvin- Moderator, do you think you could get Dr Gary Linkov involved. If you got him involved. He could do both hair transplant with vert and healing wounds from plastic surgery using vert. 2 birds one stone.This is his work email at City Facial Plastics Email: info@cityfp.com Website: https://cityfacialplastics.com/contact/ Edited June 9, 2023 by Fabio69 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
