June 2014 in “[Thesis]. Manchester, UK: The University of Manchester; 2014.” This study found that chemically modifying human hair through esterification or disulfide reduction and alkylation affects the hair's viscoelastic properties, including stability, integrity, and response to moisture.
1 citations
,
January 2006 This study found that keratin fibers like human hair undergo thermal and mechanical transitions that can help assess changes from cosmetic processes such as bleaching and perm-waving.
30 citations

August 1983 in “Pediatric Clinics of North America” Most hair loss in children is caused by a few common conditions, and it's important to diagnose these properly and support the child's mental health.
28 citations
,
September 2020 in “Pharmaceutics” This review discusses the potential of three-dimensional printed mesoporous scaffolds for drug delivery applications, particularly for bone cells and tissues, but reports no new clinical results.

August 2014 in “Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy” This study compared the microscopic treatment zones created by different fractional lasers and radiofrequency in swine skin, finding distinct patterns and damage levels for each technology.
25 citations
,
August 2017 in “Lasers in Medical Science” This literature review reported that fractional lasers, like the 1550-nm nonablative erbium-glass laser, may enhance hair regrowth by stimulating a wound healing process, but more randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm their effectiveness and optimize treatment parameters.

January 2026 in “Regenerative Biomaterials” This study synthesized and compared single-ion doped silicate bioactive glass nanoparticles for tissue repair, finding that BSr and BCe were most effective in accelerating wound healing and restoring vasculature, with BSr particularly reducing inflammation and BCo enhancing hair follicle regeneration but with limited biosafety window.
May 2025 in “Lasers in Medical Science” In this study, both erbium: YAG and erbium: glass lasers were found to be effective in treating androgenetic alopecia by improving hair density, growth rate, and thickness, particularly when combined with other therapies like minoxidil or platelet-rich plasma, though individual patient responses varied.
September 2024 in “Pakistan Journal of Science” 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.
September 2024 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This study found that both fractional and excimer lasers are effective in increasing hair density and promoting regrowth in various types of alopecia, although further trials are needed to compare their efficacy to more traditional treatments.
April 2024 in “Lasers in medical science” 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.
December 2023 in “Lasers in Medical Science” Fractionated laser therapy, especially erbium-glass laser, effectively increases hair thickness in people with hair loss but doesn't increase the number of hairs.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, researchers reported that IL-17C plays a key pro-inflammatory role in human skin diseases and may be a promising therapeutic target for inflammatory skin conditions.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that DC-HIL+ myeloid derived suppressor cells are increased in the blood and skin of patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus and show immunosuppressive properties.
February 2013 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” Uncombable hair syndrome causes dry, frizzy hair that can't be combed flat, seen in a young child.
