August 2026 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” In this study, the Avalanche brushing protocol demonstrated similar hair reduction effectiveness to the stamping method, but with significantly lower discomfort reported by patients, suggesting it may be preferable for individuals with sensitive skin or dense hair in early treatment sessions.
July 2026 in “Applied Sciences” This review suggests that 308 nm excimer therapy may offer a well-tolerated non-pharmacologic option for alopecia areata, with more limited evidence for its effectiveness in lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia.
July 2026 in “Journal of Dermatological Treatment” This study observed that excimer laser therapy led to subjective improvements in hair appearance for 60% of scarring alopecia patients and reduced symptoms like scalp pain, burning, and pruritus, indicating potential as an adjunctive treatment for inflammatory control and disease stabilization.
July 2026 in “Journal of Nanobiotechnology” This study describes a multifunctional hydrogel system designed to treat androgenetic alopecia by integrating nanozymes for reactive oxygen species clearance and melanin nano photothermal agents to enhance hair follicle health, suggesting potential for multi-target precision therapy and improved hair growth.
June 2026 in “Dermatologic Clinics” June 2026 in “Frontiers in Medicine” This study evaluated the 308-nm excimer laser as an adjuvant treatment for frontal fibrosing alopecia and found it may stabilize hairline recession and improve erythema and perifollicular hyperkeratosis, with transient erythema as the only reported adverse effect.
June 2026 in “Lasers in Medical Science” This randomized trial found that diode laser achieved more favorable long-term hair removal outcomes but induced more discomfort and transient adverse effects compared to intense pulsed light in women with Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV.
May 2026 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This meta-analysis found that fractional laser therapy significantly improved hair density in patients with androgenetic alopecia and exhibited a favorable safety profile, with mild to moderate adverse events. Combination therapy with laser and other treatments was more effective than other treatments alone.
March 2026 in “Cosmetics” This study found that combining Alexandrite laser with iontophoresis of chymotrypsin and papain enzymes reduced the laser pulse requirements compared to laser alone for treating paradoxical hypertrichosis in women with facial hirsutism, suggesting potential clinical benefits in managing this condition.
March 2026 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This research found that combining a 308-nm excimer laser with oral compound glycyrrhizin and topical 0.03% tacrolimus was more effective for treating pediatric facial and cervical vitiligo, resulting in faster and higher rates of repigmentation with minimal adverse effects compared to glycyrrhizin and tacrolimus alone.
