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

This study concluded that while home-based intense pulsed light, laser diodes, radiofrequency, and light-emitting diode devices are recommended for certain skin conditions, ultraviolet B phototherapy for psoriasis showed mixed evidence compared to clinic treatments.

In this review, the authors discussed how men seek cosmetic procedures for distinct reasons compared to women, emphasizing the need for dermatologists to consider male-specific desires for discrete treatments with minimal downtime and differences in psychological motivations.

This study determined that low-level light therapy and fractional lasers are effective and safe treatments for androgenetic alopecia, especially when combined with other agents like minoxidil, PRP, or growth factors.

This study found that low-level light therapy and fractional lasers are effective and safe treatments for androgenetic alopecia, with the greatest improvements in hair density and thickness seen in combination therapies.

This study reports that low-level light therapy and fractional lasers are effective and safe treatments for androgenetic alopecia, with more pronounced results when combined with other therapies.

This research guide explores the diverse types, functions, benefits, and considerations of home-based dermatology devices, emphasizing their convenience, cost-effectiveness, and privacy benefits, while also warning of potential risks like improper use and limited effectiveness compared to professional treatments.

This study highlights promising advancements in non-invasive techniques for treating hair-related conditions, emphasizing the importance of customizing treatments based on individual needs.

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 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 human hair follicles demonstrated a dose-dependent response to light in an ex vivo photoepilation model, which could predict the clinical efficacy and permanency of light-based hair removal devices.

The book provides an overview of new trends and techniques in cosmetic dermatology.

This study presented a new wearable textile-based device with near-infrared OLEDs that significantly reduced cell aging markers and improved cell migration in vitro, suggesting it as a promising, non-invasive phototherapy option for hair follicle treatment and hair-loss management.

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.

Laser and light therapies can help regrow hair but need more research for best results.

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 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 red OLED irradiation can significantly promote hair regrowth in mice, increasing hair length by 1.5 times and hair regrowth area by over 3 times after 20 days of treatment.

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.
