    The editorial from the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, edited by David J. Goldberg, introduces a series of studies featured in the June 2018 issue. The studies cover a range of topics within the field of cosmetic and laser therapy, starting with a study on the treatment of melasma using a fractional picosecond 1,064-nm laser. Other studies include laser-assisted hair removal for facial hirsutism in women, treatment of various skin conditions with different laser technologies, and the use of photobiomodulation therapy for androgenetic alopecia with home devices. The issue also addresses potential complications from procedures, such as paradoxical hypertrichosis after laser epilation, and discusses posttreatment care. Additionally, the editorial mentions studies on the efficacy of hyaluronic acid fillers, facial rejuvenation with polydioxanone thread, and the role of stem cells in skin rejuvenation.

      The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
