Studysummary This review evaluates laser therapy for alopecia areata, noting that fractional lasers facilitate hair growth and drug delivery, but reports no new clinical results. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
Fractional laser therapy has shown promise in treating alopecia areata by stimulating hair regeneration through skin heating and enhancing the delivery of topical treatments like minoxidil and corticosteroids. This review, which analyzed studies from April 2000 to June 2021, suggests that fractional lasers can directly and indirectly benefit hair follicles, potentially aiding in the recovery of hair growth in non-scarring alopecia cases.
