    TLDR Low energy laser therapy effectively treats certain skin conditions and improves recovery time without side effects.
    The study from 2001 examined the effects of low energy laser (LEL) therapy on 159 patients with skin conditions such as lichen ruber planus, infectious finger pulpitis, scalp alopecia, and crural ulcers. Patients were divided into an LEL group (72 patients), a placebo group (30 patients), and a control group (57 patients) receiving traditional treatment. The LEL group experienced a 79% success rate, showing improvements in symptoms and hair follicle regeneration, while the placebo group saw no significant results except in pruritus disappearance in 4 cases. The control group had a 57.87% success rate. The study concluded that LEL therapy is an effective complementary treatment for these conditions, offering a significant reduction in recovery time with no side effects. Additionally, the document detailed the biostimulation effects of LEL therapy at infra-cellular, cellular, and systemic levels, suggesting mechanisms such as resonance between cellular frequencies and laser light, reversible alterations in protein bonds, enzyme activity influence, stimulation of protein synthesis, immune system, and anti-inflammatory responses.

      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.

      A 29-year-old woman is experiencing gradual hair thinning since age 15, suspects Androgenic Alopecia, and has tried 5% minoxidil with little success. She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.

      community Why is it that low testosterone causes hair loss as well? How can I be balding?

      The conversation discusses the confusion over low testosterone potentially causing hair loss, with users sharing personal experiences and knowledge about hair loss treatments like Finasteride. Some users suggest that hair follicle sensitivity to DHT, not testosterone levels, is the key factor in balding, and others discuss the side effects of hair loss medications.
