May 2017 in “Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy” This study reported that a new laser scanner using 655 nm red and 808 nm infrared lasers significantly improved hair density in patients with androgenic alopecia compared to both a laser hat and no treatment, without observable adverse effects.
September 2023 in “Forum Dermatologicum” This source discusses androgenetic alopecia, noting that male patients may transition from topical minoxidil to its systemic form or from finasteride to dutasteride for potentially better results, while female patients might require extensive lab testing to identify hyperandrogenism due to environmental triggers.
April 2019 in “Archives of aesthetic plastic surgery” This study evaluated an 808-nm diode laser at different fluences for permanent axillary hair removal in Korean women and found that high-fluence treatment (14 J/cm2) effectively reduced hair density and thickness, with no significant difference in comfort compared to lower fluences.
October 2025 in “Dermatologica Sinica” This study's network meta-analysis reported that botulinum injection combined with red laser and topical minoxidil is most effective for increasing hair density in androgenetic alopecia when using low-level laser therapy.

August 2020 in “Dermatologic Therapy” This study found that increasing energy fluence, session duration, and using pulsed irradiation significantly enhance hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia when using low-level laser therapy, while the number of diodes does not affect outcomes.
