This review examines the devices, mechanisms, risks, side effects, and regulatory differences in laser hair removal, particularly highlighting the lack of regulation in South Africa and its implications for patient safety.

This study found that combining topical capislow with laser hair removal significantly enhanced hair reduction compared to laser alone, although the beneficial effects lasted only while capislow was applied.

This study found a perfect correlation between laser Doppler velocimetry measurements of scalp blood perfusion after minoxidil application and sulfotransferase enzyme activity in hair follicles, indicating a potential non-invasive test to predict minoxidil response in female pattern hair loss.

In this study, helium-neon laser irradiation at approximately 1 J/cm² significantly increased the percentage of hair follicles in the anagen phase in both testosterone-treated and untreated mice, suggesting stimulation of hair growth.

In this case report, a 38-year-old woman experienced progressive lightening of a blue-green eyebrow tattoo treated with a QS ruby laser, but eyebrow hair density reduction was noted as a potential adverse effect.

This study found that low-level laser therapy effectively reduced relapse rates, while functional appliances did not; combining them offered no additional benefits.

Laser hair reduction near the eyebrows can cause serious eye injuries even with safety measures.

This paper discusses photobiomodulation therapy for androgenetic alopecia, focusing on the potential differences in efficacy between laser diodes and LEDs, and reports no new clinical results.

In this case study, a 35-year-old man with recalcitrant folliculitis decalvans was successfully treated with Erbium-YAG laser, showing rapid improvement without hair loss, though further clinical studies are needed to define its benefits more comprehensively.

The 1540nm fractional erbium-glass laser helps treat hair loss caused by hormones.

This review discusses photobiomodulation therapy for different types of alopecia and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight potential mechanisms and future perspectives.

This study concluded that the 800-nm diode laser is effective in enhancing skin structure and collagen expression via the TGF-β/Smad pathway, suggesting potential for non-ablative rejuvenation.

This article discusses the lack of national credentialing for laser therapy practitioners and emphasizes the need for rigorous self-assessment and expertise, particularly when treating patients with darker skin, without presenting new research results.

This article discusses hairline design in hair restoration surgery and reports no new research data.

Excimer laser therapy can be an alternative for treating superficial morphea when topical steroids don't work.

The Epilight Hair Removal System is effective for temporary hair removal with few side effects, but more research is needed to confirm its safety and long-term results.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that adding low-level laser therapy to minoxidil treatment for androgenic alopecia does not significantly enhance hair count or diameter compared to using minoxidil alone.

This study found that bi-weekly 1550nm low-level laser therapy significantly improved hair loss conditions and scalp health in participants, suggesting its potential as an effective non-invasive treatment option.

This article discusses the use of lasers and light sources for hair removal and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the significance of selecting the appropriate laser system and treatment protocol for effective and safe outcomes.

This study reviewed preclinical and clinical research and found that AFL-assisted topical drug delivery is considered safe and effective, enhancing drug efficacy, reducing treatment time and pain, and improving cosmetic and safety outcomes, but larger clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.

In this study, the combination of CO2 fractional laser therapy with Bimatoprost 0.03% was found to be more effective in promoting hair regrowth in Alopecia Areata patients than laser therapy alone, with higher response rates and minimal adverse effects reported.

This review discusses the applications of the 308-nm excimer laser in treating various dermatologic conditions and suggests treatment is generally well tolerated, but calls for larger long-term studies.

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 reports that current in-office laser hair removal devices, particularly the Nd:YAG system for pigmented skin, effectively provide long-term hair removal, though more research on home-use devices is needed.

In this study, both excimer light and low level light therapy were found to be safe and effective for treating alopecia areata, with excimer light showing better and more sustained improvement.

Higher fluence low-level laser therapy effectively promotes hair growth in androgenetic alopecia, with varying effects based on sex.

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.
