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 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.

This review concluded that LED-based photobiomodulation is generally safe and effective for certain dermatologic conditions, though consumer devices often show less efficacy compared to professional systems.

This study found that long-term use of a home-use LED device for neck skin rejuvenation significantly improved wrinkle appearance and skin biophysical parameters without affecting thyroid function or morphology after 16 weeks of daily use.

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 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 review discusses recent advancements in light-based bioelectronic devices for health monitoring and therapy, summarizing key technologies and highlighting challenges and opportunities without reporting new clinical results.

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.

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 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.

In this study, low-level light therapy using a new helmet-type device significantly increased hair density and thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia, showing no adverse events or side effects, suggesting it may be a safe and effective treatment option for both sexes.

In this study, a novel portable LED device significantly accelerated wound healing in rats, with faster wound closure, increased collagen deposition, and more microvessels at a higher radiation intensity, suggesting its potential for innovative wound management.

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 study found that using a wearable low-level light therapy device for photodynamic therapy significantly reduced actinic keratosis lesions and improved quality of life in patients with AK of the scalp.

This study evaluated a novel hand-held low-level light therapy device for treating mild-to-moderate acne, finding it significantly reduced inflammatory lesions and moderate acne severity without severe adverse reactions, while also reducing Cutibacterium acnes viability in vitro.

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.

This article suggests that eyelash prostheses may exacerbate isotretinoin-induced blepharitis, highlighting the need for caution among young women using both products.

This review examines the FDA's 510(k) approval process for low-level laser therapy devices used in treating androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical findings.

The laser therapy device effectively increased hair growth in people with androgenetic alopecia.

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 found that the Hair660™ low-level light therapy device significantly improved hair density and was safe for men with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks.

This review discusses the mechanisms of laser and IPL hair removal, particularly for darker skin types, and reports no new findings, highlighting potential adverse effects like pigmentation changes or scarring with improper use.

This study found that low-level light therapy significantly increased hair density and diameter in androgenetic alopecia patients compared to a sham device, suggesting it could be an effective treatment option.

In this randomized, double-blind trial, researchers observed that low-level laser therapy led to significantly greater hair regrowth on treated areas compared to a sham treatment in patients with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks, suggesting it as a potentially effective and safe option.

Low-level light therapy significantly increased hair density and thickness in people with hair loss, but they didn't notice a difference.

This review discusses the challenges in selecting optical parameters for photobiomodulation studies on hair regrowth and wound healing, reporting no new clinical results and recommending more rigorous, standardized research approaches.

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.

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.

In this study, a new IPL device effectively reduced hair regrowth with high patient satisfaction, particularly in individuals with coarse dark hair and darker skin, despite repeated sessions needed for lighter hair and skin.
