Verteporfin for tummy tuck scar removal?

will_s_0998
Hello! Over the past few months, I've been following the developments of verteporfin as a treatment to regenerate the donor area (healing the scars) of a hair transplant. It has led me to question whether it's also being investigated as a treatment to prevent the development of scars for a procedure like the tummy tuck. If it works, I think it would be a huge advancement for the procedure. Thanks!
