This article reviews the growing trend of at-home laser and light devices for treating conditions like acne, hair removal, and psoriasis, emphasizing their popularity and the need for cautious use but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers evaluated how subjects perceive the effectiveness of three FDA-cleared photobiomodulation devices for home use in treating androgenetic alopecia, though specific outcomes or comparative effectiveness are not reported in the abstract.

This review identifies FDA-cleared home-use photobiomodulation devices for androgenetic alopecia treatment and highlights their excellent safety profile but notes the lack of long-term comparative studies.

This study concluded that while home-based intense pulsed light, laser diodes, radiofrequency, and light-emitting diode devices are recommended for certain skin conditions, ultraviolet B phototherapy for psoriasis showed mixed evidence compared to clinic treatments.

This review reported that home-use laser and intense pulsed light devices effectively reduce hair with significant efficacy and safety, showing 80% hair reduction one year post-treatment, although results can vary for darker skin types and compared to professional devices.

This case series reports that home use of intense pulsed light devices may effectively reduce hair burden and prevent recurrence of pilonidal disease in patients unable to regularly attend clinic sessions.

This review discusses the modest efficacy of home-use laser and light devices for conditions like hair removal and acne, noting limited evidence and a lack of robust trials.

This article reviews home-use laser and intense pulsed light systems for hair removal and growth, noting limited efficacy and safety data and emphasizing the need for long-term studies.

This study observed that the Pilogics Hairegen device increased total hair count by 23.2% and terminal hair count by 21.1% in 289 patients with androgenetic alopecia after approximately 20 weeks of use, with no adverse effects reported.

This review discusses home-use laser and light skin devices for various dermatological purposes and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the need for dermatologists to evaluate these devices' clinical value.

In this study, a square pulse, low-fluence IPL device used at home significantly reduced terminal hair count by 87% six months post-treatment, with evidence of hair miniaturization similar to professional laser treatments.

This research guide explores the diverse types, functions, benefits, and considerations of home-based dermatology devices, emphasizing their convenience, cost-effectiveness, and privacy benefits, while also warning of potential risks like improper use and limited effectiveness compared to professional treatments.

In this study, a home-use microneedle device combined with 5% minoxidil showed potential for enhancing hair growth in pattern hair loss over six months, although the observed improvements in hair count and patient assessments were not statistically significant compared to other treatments.

This study reviewed 44 clinical trials and found that home-based laser devices are effective for short-term hair removal and skin rejuvenation, with common side effects including erythema and edema; additional trials are needed to confirm safety and efficacy.

This article reviews light-based hair removal devices for home use, highlighting safety issues and the need for consistent international regulations and guidelines for their manufacture and marketing.

In this study, researchers developed a wearable red and blue LED patch and a sprayable fibrin gel to treat infected wounds at home, demonstrating effective infection control and enhanced wound healing in diabetic mice and minipigs.

This study found that FDA-approved low-level light/laser therapy devices significantly increased hair density in individuals with pattern hair loss compared to sham devices.

This review suggests that paradoxical hair growth after light-based treatments is unlikely due to the devices themselves; instead, it may be linked to other factors such as inflammation in individuals with certain conditions.

In this randomized controlled trial involving breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, this study investigated the efficacy of low-level light therapy for preventing hair loss, measuring outcomes like hair count and patient quality of life, but the abstract does not report specific results.

This study observed that a low energy pulsed-light device combined with galvanic energy was effective and safe for reducing unwanted hair in individuals with dark skin types V and VI.

This review discusses the factors affecting laser hair removal results and adverse events, emphasizing the need for more research to determine optimal treatment parameters; it reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses the factors involved in optimizing laser hair removal, emphasizing patient selection, laser safety, and understanding laser–tissue interactions, but presents no new clinical findings.

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.

This review discusses recent advancements in dermatological laser therapy, highlighting its growing applications but noting gaps in data on long-term effects and side effects.

This review discusses the use of laser and intense light sources for hair removal and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the potential for aesthetic medicine to include these technologies.

This study surveyed 60 participants via social media to gather insights on patient preferences and experiences with at-home photobiomodulation devices for hair loss, finding that the majority had not previously used such a device.

This review discusses various theories of skin aging and the importance of using professional and at-home skincare solutions, but offers no new empirical findings.

The editorial introduces studies on various cosmetic and laser treatments, their effectiveness, and posttreatment care.

This study found that using a commercially available IPL home-use device led to significant hair reduction and demonstrated long-term efficacy in maintaining hair reduction one year after treatment.
