This report describes a case where a recalcitrant folliculitis decalvans was successfully treated with a long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser.

In this study, long-pulsed 755-nm alexandrite laser treatment for keratosis pilaris significantly improved skin roughness and redness, as well as follicular plug reduction, with good safety and patient satisfaction compared to a moisturizing lotion alone.

This case report describes an 8-year-old girl who developed fronto-temporal hypertrichosis from 2% minoxidil solution and achieved complete resolution after two Nd:YAG laser hair removal sessions.

In this study, both 1565-nm non-ablative fractional laser and long-pulsed 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser effectively reduced enlarged facial pores, with no significant difference in efficacy and minimal side effects, though the Nd:YAG laser had less severe side effects.

This case report describes a rare instance of dermographic urticaria triggered by an 810 nm diode laser for hair removal, with symptoms managed effectively by pre-treatment with levocetirizine.

This study found that combining topical capislow with laser hair removal significantly enhanced hair reduction compared to laser alone, although the beneficial effects lasted only while capislow was applied.

In this review, researchers examined the current status and advancements in using long-pulse alexandrite lasers for treating hair removal, vascular lesions, and pigmented lesions, aiming to guide clinical use based on how the laser's 755nm wavelength is absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin.

Laser treatment is safe and can effectively treat toenail fungus, especially when combined with other treatments if no improvement is seen after about a year.

The Nd:YAG laser is a successful and safe way to treat ingrown and pincer nails.

This study found that patients with high androgen levels due to PCOS required more sessions of Nd-YAG laser therapy for hair reduction compared to those with normal or low hormone levels.

This study reviewed the effectiveness of long pulse 1,064-nm Nd:YAG laser treatments for leg veins, hair removal, and skin rejuvenation, highlighting its safety, particularly for darker skin types, due to reduced pigmentary side effect risks.

In this study, intravenous corticosteroid pulse therapy for rapidly progressive alopecia areata showed that 74.5% of patients achieved a good response in the long-term, and a revised scoring system predicted relapse risk effectively in cases with preceding infectious symptoms.

This letter discusses findings from an article by Sun et al. showing that neodymium doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser effectively treats prominent facial vasculature in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, but highlights concerns about the risk of iatrogenic scarring and suggests caution with treatment frequency.

This study found that combining topical and oral pulse corticosteroid therapy for severe alopecia areata in children led to long-lasting hair regrowth, especially in AA plurifocalis, with no serious side effects reported.

In this study, 755-nm alexandrite laser treatment significantly reduced acne keloidalis nuchae lesions in male patients, improving quality of life and showing low recurrence rates, with temporary hair loss as a reversible complication.

This study found that combining low-fluence Q-switched Nd: YAG laser and intense pulsed light led to faster and more effective melasma treatment compared to using the laser alone, though recurrence still occurred.

This study found that one year after recovering from COVID-19, females without comorbidities reported long-COVID symptoms more frequently than males and experienced distinct cardiovascular differences, including lower arterial pressures and higher heart rates, despite fewer ECG abnormalities.

This study found that among transgender men undergoing long-term testosterone therapy, a severe pattern of androgenetic alopecia may indicate increased arterial stiffness, as measured by higher intima-media thickness of the carotid artery.

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 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 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 study found that long pulsed Nd-YAG laser treatment significantly improved acne keloidalis nuchae by reducing inflammation and hair follicles, with early intervention yielding the best results.

Laser hair removal might also work by damaging blood vessels around hair follicles.

This study suggests that laser hair removal, when carefully tailored to the individual's skin type, can potentially reduce the psychological impact of excessive hair in children and adolescents, even those with darker skin tones.

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.

This study found that using a hair removal laser can effectively reduce hair thickness in the hairline of Asian women with thick donor hairs from previous hair transplants, improving hairline appearance with mild, transient side effects.

This case study describes a 17-year-old female with severe hirsutism diagnosed with PCOS, NC-CAH, and HAIR-AN syndrome who was successfully treated based on her specific underlying conditions.

This randomized trial found that diode laser achieved more favorable long-term hair removal outcomes but induced more discomfort and transient adverse effects compared to intense pulsed light in women with Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV.

This study found that using a commercially available IPL home-use device led to significant hair reduction and demonstrated long-term efficacy in maintaining hair reduction one year after treatment.

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.
