This source discusses using stratum corneum ablation as a promising method to enhance transdermal drug delivery by temporarily removing the skin's outermost barrier to improve medication absorption.

This review summarizes late-breaking abstracts from the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, 2018, and reports no new clinical findings.

In this review, the authors report that fractional resurfacing can be a safe and effective technique for treating scars and promoting photorejuvenation in Asian skin, though it requires cautious use to minimize risks like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and rebound melasma.

This review discusses laser and energy-assisted drug delivery as a treatment for alopecia and concludes that although all studies show positive effects, some reports indicate no superiority over existing monotherapies.

This book reviews the various types of acne and acneiform conditions, as well as their treatment options, with expert insights from multiple fields.

This study emphasizes the importance of understanding cosmetic procedures and their risks, particularly for individuals with darker skin, and highlights expert recommendations for pre- and post-procedure skin care, including the use of broad-spectrum sunscreen to prevent and improve pigmentation disorders.

In this study, researchers reviewed data on isotretinoin and concluded that delaying certain skin procedures like laser hair removal and chemical peels after isotretinoin treatment may not be necessary, though caution is advised for fully ablative treatments, and lower isotretinoin doses are recommended.

This review summarizes current melasma treatments, emphasizing the need for tailored, long-term management strategies that integrate photoprotection and address various pathogenic mechanisms.

This systematic review found that light and laser therapies, including excimer and erbium-glass lasers, generally increase hair density and diameter in various types of alopecia, with particularly notable effects in androgenic alopecia but limited efficacy in telogen effluvium.

This study found that stabilized beta-catenin is crucial for activating stem cell transition from quiescence to proliferation in hair follicles by influencing gene expression within the stem cell niche.

This review examines the complex role of the Ectodysplasin-A pathway in skeletal morphogenesis, emphasizing its interaction with other key signaling pathways, and reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the complex role of the EDA pathway in vertebrate skeletal development, emphasizing its interaction with other morphogenic pathways to influence skeletal diversity, but reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the potential uses of inorganic nanomaterials for imaging and detecting brain diseases, but reports no new experimental results; it calls for improvements in diagnosis precision and imaging accuracy.

This review investigates laser-induced Koebner-related reactions and highlights how different laser types, targets, and session frequencies affect the development of these skin responses, particularly in individuals with darker skin phototypes.

This study found that non-ablative and/or ablative fractional lasers promoted hair growth in patients with certain uncommon hair disorders, though effectiveness varied among different conditions.

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.

This study found that a single ablative fractional laser treatment significantly reduced hedgehog pathway gene expression in microscopic murine basal cell carcinomas, nearly matching the effects of repeated topical vismodegib applications.

This study found that ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment improved skin fibrosis, reduced skin hardening, and enhanced hair follicle growth in localized scleroderma patients, with significant improvements across several clinical measures and no severe adverse effects observed.

This study demonstrated that ablation of individual somatostatin-expressing interneurons increased activity in nearby neurons of the mouse motor cortex during motor learning.

This letter discusses the use of the 2940 nm Er: YAG fractional laser for male androgenetic alopecia but provides no new clinical findings.

In this study, a 3-month treatment with a 2940 nm Er:YAG laser, combined with conventional therapy, effectively reduced microfibrosis around hair follicles and increased hair growth in the anagen stage among 85 men with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that nonablative Er:YAG laser therapy effectively improved hair appearance for patients with androgenetic alopecia, with most participants reporting increased satisfaction and no adverse reactions, following six biweekly sessions.

In this retrospective study, a combined therapy of ablative fractional Er: YAG laser and medication was more effective in treating male androgenetic alopecia than medication alone, without causing serious adverse effects, as evaluated over 24 weeks.

This study suggests that the PPP2R3C gene may confer susceptibility to psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis vulgaris in Chinese patients, with additional possible associations involving IL-23R, ERN1, IFIH1, and KIF3A genes.

Channels stay open for 24 hours, making laser treatment potentially effective for hair loss.

This study found that non-ablative Er:YAG laser treatment, alone or combined with other therapies, effectively improved hair quality and reduced AGA grade in patients, with high satisfaction reported and no adverse reactions.

This study found that Er–YAG laser treatment significantly enhanced skin absorption and follicular delivery of antialopecia drugs, suggesting a potential laser-assisted approach to treat alopecia.

In this study, Nd:YAG picosecond lasers using fractional micro-lens array were found to have a comparable effect to ablative fractional Er:YAG lasers in treating atrophic acne scars, with better safety profiles but slightly less patient satisfaction.

Laser treatment can improve the delivery of hair loss drugs into the skin and hair follicles.

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.
