research Hair Reduction: 48 Months of Experience with 800nm Diode Laser
An 800nm diode laser safely and effectively reduces hair for about 8 months, with most patients satisfied and few side effects.
research Cyclosporine
Cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant targeting CD4+ T lymphocytes, was found to directly affect the growth of various epithelial cell types. It stimulated hair follicle keratinocytes, causing hypertrichosis, while exerting a cytostatic effect on other epithelial cells. This antiproliferative effect was also observed in some cyclosporine analogues with minimal or no immunosuppressive properties, indicating different molecular mechanisms for epithelial cell growth modulation and immunosuppression. This discovery suggested potential for using nonimmunosuppressive cyclosporines in treating hyperproliferative epidermal diseases.
