November 2023 in “Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery” This study found that diode laser effectively reduces unwanted facial hair in darker skin types and reported no serious adverse events, suggesting that trichoscopy is an underutilized tool for assessing laser hair reduction outcomes.
July 2026 in “Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association” This study found that combining topical eflornithine with triple diode laser treatments in women with hirsutism led to a more rapid and nearly complete reduction of terminal hair after 6 months, though the intergroup differences were not significant at 6- and 12-month follow-ups.
June 1999 in “Proceedings of SPIE” The study suggests that CO₂ laser creates hair transplant channels with significantly less lateral thermal damage than Ho:YAG laser in the human scalp.
April 2024 in “Journal of dermatology research reviews & reports” This clinical trial found that combining 678 nm helmet-type low-level laser therapy with topical minoxidil 5% significantly increased hair density and patient satisfaction in men with androgenetic alopecia, compared to using minoxidil alone. Both treatments were well tolerated.
December 2020 in “Lasers in Surgery and Medicine” In this study, using a 1064 nm picosecond Nd:YAG laser effectively removed undesirable scalp micropigmentation in four patients within 1–3 treatment sessions, with no unexpected adverse events reported.
