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.

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.

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.

This study found that 308-nm excimer laser therapy improved hair diameter in alopecia areata patients, as shown by photographic assessments and a side-by-side comparison with control patches.

The 308-nm excimer laser helps hair regrowth in some alopecia areata cases but not all.

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

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.

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.

This review highlights that laser and light treatments could serve as safe and effective alternatives to current therapies for alopecia areata, with the excimer laser showing positive results, though further randomized controlled trials are necessary to establish optimal treatment protocols.

This systematic review suggests that laser treatments, especially low-level laser therapy and excimer lasers, may be effective for hair regrowth, though further large-scale studies are needed for validation.

This meta-analysis found that laser-based therapies showed promising clinical benefits in treating scarring alopecias, such as disease stabilization and symptom improvement, but highlighted the need for high-quality randomized controlled trials due to serious risk of bias and methodological limitations in existing studies.

This study reviews the use of lasers and light therapies as treatment options for managing the two most common types of alopecia—androegenetic alopecia and alopecia areata—highlighting that existing FDA-approved drugs like minoxidil and finasteride are partially effective, necessitating additional therapeutic approaches.

This study concluded that fractional laser therapy, alone or combined with minoxidil or cortisol, effectively treated alopecia areata, showing better outcomes than the drugs alone, without increasing adverse effects, though effectiveness did not significantly differ from similar physical treatments.

This review discusses various light and laser treatments for hair loss, highlighting potential benefits but emphasizes the need for more scientific evidence before recommendations can be made.

This study evaluated current treatments for pediatric alopecia areata and found that high potency topical steroids had the strongest supporting evidence, with promising results also observed for anthralin ointment and other treatments in lower-grade studies.

This study reported that therapeutic make-up significantly improves the long-term quality of life for patients with facial dermatoses, showing a sustained benefit one year after application, particularly in younger patients.

This review discusses cases and research on paradoxical hair growth after laser hair removal and explores laser and light therapies for treating alopecia, but reports no new results.

Certain hairstyles can cause scalp diseases, smoking is linked to hair loss, 5% minoxidil foam is effective for hair loss treatment, and various factors influence wound healing and hair growth.

This study found that the 308-nm Excimer laser was effective and safe for treating patchy alopecia areata in children, with hair regrowth observed in 60% of treated scalp patches.

This review assessed evidence on laser therapies for alopecia areata, reporting that the 308-nm excimer laser showed hair regrowth in several studies, while more research is needed for other laser types.

This study evaluated treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia and found hydroxychloroquine and 5a-reductase inhibitors to be most effective, with 70-72% of patients experiencing stabilization or improvement, but limitations in treatment consistency and assessment methods remain.

This review discusses the genetics, therapy, and prognosis of childhood alopecia areata, noting that while current treatments are not curative, new modalities may improve future outcomes; it reports no new clinical results.

This review summarizes the current treatment modalities for frontal fibrosing alopecia and provides a practical guide for clinicians, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the challenges in treating alopecia areata and the potential psychological impact, noting that spontaneous hair regrowth often occurs and highlighting the consideration of psychotherapy alongside treatment options; it reports no new experimental results.

This case report describes a 22-month-old with alopecia universalis who showed improved hair growth after receiving combination therapy with minoxidil, corticosteroids, and excimer laser.

The document covers various dermatological treatments and conditions.

This consensus statement from Saudi Arabia outlines evidence- and experience-based recommendations for diagnosing and managing alopecia areata, focusing on severity assessment, prognostic indicators, and therapeutic options, with special attention to pediatric patients and uncommon cases.

This review found promising evidence for the efficacy of certain laser and light-based therapies in treating various forms of alopecia, such as low-level light therapy for androgenetic alopecia and excimer laser for alopecia areata, but emphasized the need for further understanding of these treatments.

This review discusses treatment approaches for alopecia areata, including promising novel therapies, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses topical and intralesional treatments for alopecia areata, providing a management strategy based on patient age and disease severity, but reports no new clinical results.
