In this systematic review, oral minoxidil was found to be a safe and effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, with additional benefits for female pattern hair loss and other types of alopecia, although common side effects included hypertrichosis and postural hypotension.

This study observed that electro-acupuncture reduced global DNA methylation and DNMT3b expression in a PCOS-like rat model, suggesting a role of hypothalamic DNA methylation in PCOS development and treatment.

This study found that an 8-week low-starch/low-dairy diet led to weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced testosterone levels in women with PCOS.

In this study, low-dose finasteride (2.5 mg/day) significantly reduced hirsutism scores in women over 12 months without significant hormonal changes or serious side effects.

This review found that topical immunotherapy and light/laser therapy may achieve over 50% hair regrowth efficacy in treating extensive alopecia areata in children, with no serious side effects observed.

This study found that low-level laser therapy may reduce inflammation and increase hair thickness in patients with lichen planopilaris after six months of treatment, though the small sample size limits the findings.

In this study of 30 severe anorexia nervosa patients, true acquired pili torti was not found although twisted hair was observed in 6.6% of cases.

This study concluded that high-dose oral therapy with L-cystine, gelatin, and vitamin A significantly improved hair growth indicators in patients with diffuse hair loss, with no systemic side effects observed.

This study found that combined intense pulsed light and low-level light therapy significantly improved ocular surface outcomes and quality of life for patients with meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye disease.

This study identified new and recurrent missense mutations in the PHGDH and PSAT1 genes, implicating them in the pathogenesis of Neu-Laxova syndrome in Chinese patients.

This study found that low-level laser treatment may promote hair regrowth in mice by activating the Wnt10b/ß-catenin pathway and inducing the anagen phase of hair follicles.

This study found that low-level laser therapy with an 830-nm wavelength most significantly stimulated hair growth in rats, compared to other wavelengths tested.

This review assesses low-level laser therapy in plastic surgery and reports that it may improve flap survival and burn scars, but lacks efficacy for venous ulcers, alopecia, and skin aging.

This case report describes a hemodialysis patient whose hair loss reversed after switching from tinzaparin to enoxaparin, suggesting tinzaparin-induced alopecia.

This study reported that low-dose oral minoxidil is generally safe for treating various types of hair loss, though it may cause hypertrichosis and pedal edema, especially at higher doses.

This study found that dual-frequency ultrasound with microbubble cavitation significantly enhanced minoxidil delivery and hair growth in both lab and animal models compared to single-frequency ultrasound, without damaging the skin in mice.

In this study, adding low-level light therapy to minoxidil significantly improved hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in treating androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone.

In this retrospective study, low-dose methotrexate was observed to be effective and well-tolerated in treating recalcitrant alopecia areata multiplex, achieving complete or near-complete hair regrowth in about 90% of patients despite some experiencing elevated liver enzymes and gastrointestinal discomfort.

This study found that corticosteroid pulse therapy may be more effective than oral cyclosporine with corticosteroid for patients with severe alopecia areata, especially for those with the plurifocal type or a short disease duration.

This study concluded that an 8-week low-starch/low-dairy diet increased fat oxidation in overweight and obese women with PCOS.

This study concluded that low-level fluence 810 nm diode laser therapy was generally well tolerated, safe, and effective for long-term hair reduction in a small sample of patients with various skin types.

This study evaluated the use of low-level laser therapy for treating androgenic alopecia in adults, finding it a promising and safe at-home option for stimulating hair growth compared to sham devices, though further research is needed to confirm its clinical effectiveness.

This study found that in mice, low-dose irradiation causes stem cells in hair follicles to undergo chromatin alterations, which may eventually lead to long-term functional loss in tissues or organs.

Low-dose oral minoxidil effectively treats female hair loss with good safety.

This study found that low-level laser therapy increased the expression of proteins in dermal papilla tissues, suggesting it promotes hair growth in male androgenetic alopecia patients.

This study found that 14 days of low-dose aspirin reduced the predicted response to topical minoxidil in androgenetic alopecia patients from 50% to 27%, suggesting aspirin may inhibit minoxidil efficacy.

In this study, low-dose spironolactone effectively reduced hirsutism in women and stopped hair loss in one woman with alopecia areata, without significant side effects over 12 menstrual cycles.

This article reviews the potential for low intensity ultrasound as an antidote for the peripheral cytotoxic side effects of taxane drugs in chemotherapy, presenting no new clinical results.

This study reported that four patients with lichen planopilaris showed dramatic improvement, including symptom reduction and hair regrowth, after treatment with low-level light therapy.
