675 nm laser treatment androgenetic alopecia hair shaft density yellow dots telangiectasias miniaturization process

TLDR The 675 nm laser treatment significantly increased hair density and reduced symptoms of androgenetic alopecia in both men and women, with no side effects.

The study assessed the efficacy of a 675 nm laser treatment for managing androgenetic alopecia in 17 subjects (6 women and 11 men) aged 18 to 65 years. The subjects, who had alopecia grades ranging from I-II in women and I-II-III in men, underwent 10 sessions of the laser treatment, each lasting 20 minutes. The results, verified at the third month of follow-up and at the end of treatment, showed a significant increase in hair shaft density and a reduction of yellow dots and telangiectasias characteristic of androgenetic alopecia. The 675 nm laser treatment resulted in a 60% reduction of the miniaturization process in the treated areas, with no side effects reported.

community Red Light Therapy: Cheap Chinese LED caps are better than $3000 laser caps

in Research/Science 37 upvotes 10 months ago

Affordable 92-LED caps may be more effective for hair growth than expensive 270-laser caps due to higher power output and irradiance. The LED caps deliver more energy to the scalp, making them a cost-effective alternative for red light therapy.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
