    TLDR The 532 nm laser effectively reduces facial vascular and pigmented lesions, with the VISIA system reliably assessing treatment results.
    The retrospective trial involving 100 patients (86 women and 14 men) with vascular facial lesions found that 532 nm laser therapy significantly reduces both vascular and pigmented skin lesions on the face. The VISIA Skin Analysis System was used to objectively assess skin lesions before and after each laser procedure, proving to be a reliable tool for treatment efficacy evaluation. The study also found that the number of laser sessions positively correlated with the reduction of vascular lesions, but not pigmented lesions. Skin phototype did not significantly affect laser efficacy. No adverse effects were reported. The VISIA system, while beneficial for tailoring therapy, is limited to facial area evaluation and requires special equipment and software.

      community KX-826: Long-Term Safety Results are out!

      in Research/Science  158 upvotes 1 month ago
      KX-826 initially improves hair growth but declines after 24 weeks, with mild itching as a side effect. Combining it with minoxidil and finasteride may improve results, but long-term effectiveness is uncertain.

      community Why anecdotal evidence is so valued around here?

      in Chat  18 upvotes 7 months ago
      The conversation discusses why personal stories about hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are often taken more seriously than scientific evidence in certain forums. People tend to believe what they want and use others' experiences to support their own views on treatment effectiveness and side effects.

      in Finasteride  282 upvotes 5 months ago
      Switching from finasteride to dutasteride and back to finasteride led to gynecomastia and fatigue, likely due to hormonal imbalances. Suggested treatments include Tamoxifen, Raloxifene, or low-dose Anastrozole, with a recommendation to test testosterone and estradiol levels.
