    TLDR Laser hair removal can help treat acne keloidalis nuchae, but results vary and a standard scoring system is needed.
    The document discussed the effectiveness of laser hair removal in treating acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN), emphasizing that successful, long-term treatment with low recurrence required the elimination of hair in the lesions. While laser hair removal generally improved AKN, not all lesions responded equally to the treatment, and outcomes varied. The need for a standardized scoring system to better evaluate and predict treatment outcomes was highlighted.
