TLDR New technologies are improving the diagnosis and treatment of hair and nail disorders.

Emerging technologies are significantly enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of hair and nail disorders by improving visualization and early detection of dermatological pathologies. Advanced diagnostic techniques such as dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy, and optical coherence tomography, along with therapeutic advancements like low-level laser therapy, platelet-rich plasma therapy, and gene therapy, are showing promising results. AI-driven technologies further personalize patient care by providing data-driven insights. The integration of these advanced technologies in clinical practice is transforming dermatology, offering improved diagnostic precision, effective management options, and tailored patient care.
