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.

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.
This study observed increased proliferation and certain gene expressions in dermal papilla cells exposed to an 808 nm laser diode array at doses above 0.5 J/cm².
April 2025 in “Journal of Biophotonics” This study found that 808 nm laser photobiomodulation altered mitochondrial respiration and enhanced osteogenic protein expression in human dental pulp stem cells, with the effects being dose-specific and more pronounced at 15 J/cm².
