This review discusses the applications of low level laser therapy (LLLT) in wound healing, pain reduction, and treating various conditions, but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for randomized controlled trials for serious diseases.

This editorial discusses the terminology and distinctions between Low-Level Light/Laser Therapy and Photobiomodulation Therapy but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that the majority of side effects from laser-assisted hair removal were associated with ruby and alexandrite lasers, particularly in patients with tanned or darker skin types.

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 discusses the potential mechanisms and evidence supporting low-level laser therapy for stimulating hair growth in men and women, while noting its safety and effectiveness but needing further study on specific parameters.

This study found that the HairMax LaserComb® significantly increased hair density and was safe and well tolerated for treating androgenetic alopecia in men compared to a sham device.

This article reviews the biological and physical principles of laser hair removal and reports that current laser systems do not consistently achieve permanent hair follicle destruction across treated areas.

This study found that low-level laser treatment with the HairMax Lasercomb significantly increased terminal hair density in both men and women with pattern hair loss, with no serious adverse events reported.

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.

Minoxidil increases blood flow in balding scalps, possibly reversing hair loss.

This study found that adding topical eflornithine to laser hair removal significantly improved the reduction of unwanted facial hair in women over a 6-month period, compared to laser treatment alone.

This study found that low level laser therapy at 655 nm significantly increased hair counts in males with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that anagen-phase hair follicles in mice are particularly sensitive to damage by ruby laser pulses, resulting in alopecia without scarring, suggesting enhanced laser hair removal strategies.

This study found that combining near-infrared laser phototherapy with indocyanine green application may improve acne vulgaris by reducing active lesions and inflammation without side effects.

This study observed that postlaser hair removal hypertrichosis occurred in 0.6% of patients and appeared more common in darker skin types, but was a rare phenomenon overall.

This article compares traditional nonlaser hair removal methods with newly developed laser-assisted techniques, discussing their applications but not presenting new research findings.

This study concluded that the long-pulsed alexandrite laser is safe for hair removal in patients with Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI, with complications occurring in only 2% of cases.

This article discusses the combined use of strip method and FUE techniques for hair transplantation along with a real-time intraoperative calculation model to reduce graft over-extraction and wastage, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the use of light-based technologies for hair removal, detailing different laser systems and treatment protocols, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the long-pulsed alexandrite laser effectively reduced hair growth with varying efficacy depending on the pulse duration, anatomic location, and number of treatments, without causing permanent adverse effects in skin types I–III.

This review highlights advancements in hair laser removal technologies, which achieve approximately 75% hair reduction in light-skinned individuals, noting the long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser as safest for dark-skinned patients, but reports no new results.

This study found that low-level laser therapy significantly increased hair growth in women with androgenic alopecia, achieving a 37% greater increase in hair counts compared to placebo.

This study found that using a low-level laser comb led to hair regrowth in a mouse model of alopecia areata, while sham-treated mice showed no hair regrowth.

This article reviews patient selection and treatment protocols for various light-based hair removal systems but presents no new clinical results.

This review discusses laser/light treatments for pattern hair loss and reports no clinical validation of current devices; experts recommend physician evaluation to exclude other medical conditions.

This study found that combining microdermabrasion, a topical regimen, and low-fluence QS Nd:YAG laser treatment effectively cleared melasma in women, with 81% of participants achieving over 75% clearance and minimal side effects.

This study found that pulsed infrared diode laser therapy (904 nm) was effective in promoting hair regrowth in 94% of patients with resistant patches of alopecia areata.

This review concluded that FDA-cleared low-level laser therapy devices are safe and effective for patients with male and female pattern hair loss who do not respond to or tolerate standard treatments.

This study found that while laser hair removal improves quality of life for women with facial hirsutism, emotional benefits diminish over 30 months and additional treatments may be necessary to maintain improvements.
