This review discusses the state-of-the-art in photobiomodulation therapy for oral and dental applications and emphasizes the need for education, training, and addressing logistical issues for its routine use.

This review compiles existing research on infrared radiation's effects on human skin, noting both its potential harmful thermal impacts and encouraging therapeutic applications, but reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights the potential of transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) as a non-invasive and affordable treatment for brain diseases, summarizing recent advances and successful protocols based on over two decades of research.

In this study, researchers created nanowhiskers from crab shell-derived nanochitin that self-assembled into vibrant structural colors within a film. The material, sensitive to environmental changes, shows potential as a food freshness indicator and a sustainable dye for cosmetics due to chitin's biocompatibility.

This review article identifies a need for standardized guidelines in using photobiomodulation therapy for spinal cord injury repair, emphasizing that current inconsistencies in therapy parameters may hinder optimal outcomes and limit clinical trials.

This review discusses the role of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in skin wound repair and explores how photobiomodulation may affect chronic wound healing, but it reports no new clinical results.

Low-level laser therapy may help regrow hair in dogs with non-inflammatory hair loss.

This study found that both 5-ALA and Photofrin can effectively destroy human microvascular endothelial cells in vitro and cause tissue necrosis in vivo, with Photofrin showing greater efficacy at lower concentrations or power densities.

In this clinical study, low-level laser therapy using the HANDI-DOME LASER device increased hair counts by 51% compared to controls, indicating its potential as a safe and effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia in women aged 18 to 60.

This study found that low-level laser therapy may have promising effects on hair regrowth in dogs with noninflammatory alopecia, with most animals showing improvement after treatment.

In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, researchers found that low-level laser therapy significantly improved the healing rate and reduced the area of pressure ulcers in patients compared to placebo, suggesting its effectiveness in managing ulcers resistant to conventional treatments.

This review assesses low-level laser therapy in plastic surgery and reports that it may improve flap survival and burn scars, but lacks efficacy for venous ulcers, alopecia, and skin aging.

This review discusses the mechanisms, applications, and research evidence of photobiomodulation, highlighting its efficacy, safety, and potential for standardized evaluation methods, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes the first use of photobiomodulation therapy with a continuous wave red laser (660 nm) as monotherapy for alopecia areata, resulting in significant hair regrowth within 7 days, though further research is needed for conclusive evidence.

This study reviews the mechanism and potential treatment roles of low-level laser therapy for immune-mediated skin diseases, reporting no new clinical results.

This review concluded that FDA-cleared low-level laser therapy devices are safe and effective for patients with male and female pattern hair loss who do not respond to or tolerate standard treatments.

This review discusses the benefits and applications of low level laser therapy in cosmetic dermatology, particularly for skin conditions and pigmentation disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that adding microneedling to minoxidil treatment significantly improved hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone across all assessed measures.

This review found that low-level laser therapy significantly increased hair density in adults with androgenic alopecia compared to sham treatments, with greater effects observed at lower treatment frequencies.

In this study, 80% of patients expressed satisfaction with diode-laser hair removal, though multiple treatments were needed for optimal results and were a deterrent for some.

This study concluded that low-level fluence 810 nm diode laser therapy was generally well tolerated, safe, and effective for long-term hair reduction in a small sample of patients with various skin types.

This study demonstrated that dyeing can enhance the absorption coefficient of hair follicle tissues for selective photodestruction within human skin and hair follicles.

This article discusses the multifactorial nature of acne, including its association with follicular hyperkeratosis, sebaceous lipids, Propionibacterium acnes, and perifollicular inflammation, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that diode laser effectively reduces unwanted facial hair in darker skin types and reported no serious adverse events, suggesting that trichoscopy is an underutilized tool for assessing laser hair reduction outcomes.

In this review, researchers examined the current status and advancements in using long-pulse alexandrite lasers for treating hair removal, vascular lesions, and pigmented lesions, aiming to guide clinical use based on how the laser's 755nm wavelength is absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin.

This chapter reviews techniques for treating pseudofolliculitis barbae and suggests that combining daily shaving with topical treatments like glycolic acid may effectively manage this condition without new clinical results reported.

This study found that combining topical eflornithine with triple diode laser treatments in women with hirsutism led to a more rapid and nearly complete reduction of terminal hair after 6 months, though the intergroup differences were not significant at 6- and 12-month follow-ups.

This review synthesizes evidence that photobiomodulation may provide robust symptomatic relief for knee osteoarthritis but indicates its potential for structural regeneration remains speculative and needs further long-term validation.

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.

This thesis explores how optical coherence tomography and advanced imaging methods may address clinical needs in fields like interventional pulmonology and dermatology, highlighting their potential for disease assessment and staging.
