TLDR The 2017 issue emphasized progress in laser and energy-based skin treatments, but noted the need for more research on certain procedures and technologies.

The 2017 Special Dermatology/Plastic Surgery Issue highlighted advancements in laser and energy-based treatments in dermatology, including fractional laser treatments, non-invasive fat removal, and selective photothermolysis. It discussed the evolution of dermatological laser surgery, challenges in treating darker skin types, and the shift to less invasive procedures like Fractional Photothermolysis (FP). A pilot study by Baca et al. on FP for scar prevention showed no beneficial effects, indicating a need for further research. Kilmer introduced a faster applicator for cryolipolysis, and Levi et al. explored an ultrasound-based fat treatment. Picosecond lasers were shown to be effective for various skin conditions, despite their cost. Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM) gained a reimbursement code, and Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for androgenetic alopecia was reviewed, with two FDA-approved devices and clinical data summarized by Afifi et al. The issue emphasized the continuous progress in the field of dermatology and plastic surgery.

community The no BS guide to saving your hair without finasteride (improvement in 90% of patients in the study) with a low side effect profile or improvement in 100% of patients but a higher side effect profile and increased dosage. The future is here?

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)
