This study found that combining 308-excimer phototherapy with intramuscular triamcinolone acetonide was effective and well tolerated for treating resistant alopecia totalis, showing a 90% overall response rate in the ten patients studied, with the best results observed in younger patients.

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.

In this study, photodynamic therapy was found to achieve permanent reduction of nonpigmented hair in mice, unlike an 800-nm diode laser, by targeting the hair matrix through repeated sessions.

Using Excimer light with topical steroids is the most effective treatment for alopecia areata.

This study found that 830 nm LED light effectively treated post-inflammatory erythema and hyperpigmentation, while both 830 nm and 590 nm LEDs prevented post-inflammatory erythema.

This study reported successful repigmentation of perioral vitiligo using upper hair follicle transplantation combined with a 308 nm excimer laser, without undesirable hair growth in the treated areas, offering a potential approach for treating vitiligo cases unresponsive to traditional melanocyte transplantation.

This article contains the late-breaking abstracts from the 39th Annual Conference of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery and does not present new research results.

This study found that LEDs at specific wavelengths may improve antifungal performance and promote hair growth by activating scalp cells without inducing inflammation compared to a non-irradiated group.

The editorial introduces various topics on laser and cosmetic treatments in a medical journal.

This article reviews melasma in men, its causes, and treatment options, but reports no new clinical findings.

Pulsed dye laser and hydrogel dressings effectively treat hypertrophic scars.

This chapter explores the promising use of low-power laser irradiation for post-hysterectomy reconstructive care, emphasizing enhancements like a flexible fiber optic module, to potentially improve genitourinary rehabilitation in cervical cancer patients.

308 nm excimer phototherapy can help some people with alopecia areata regrow hair, especially if their condition is less severe.

This case study reports that a pediatric patient with recalcitrant alopecia areata was treated using a 308 nm excimer lamp and topical tofacitinib 2% gel.

This study developed a microneedle system using black phosphorus nanosheets and baicalin for treating androgenetic alopecia, finding it effectively enhanced drug penetration and follicular targeting while showing synergistic efficacy and safety in preclinical tests, including in vivo model efficacy against testosterone-induced hair loss.

This study found that ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy enhanced the identification of follicular openings in alopecia areata, potentially aiding in the assessment of disease severity and treatment strategies.

This systematic review found that light and laser therapies, including excimer and erbium-glass lasers, generally increase hair density and diameter in various types of alopecia, with particularly notable effects in androgenic alopecia but limited efficacy in telogen effluvium.

This study found that intralesional triamcinolone was more effective than the 308 nm Excimer laser in achieving >75% hair regrowth in patients with localized alopecia areata over 12 weeks.

This study reviews the use of lasers and light therapies as treatment options for managing the two most common types of alopecia—androegenetic alopecia and alopecia areata—highlighting that existing FDA-approved drugs like minoxidil and finasteride are partially effective, necessitating additional therapeutic approaches.

In this study, treatment of unwanted hair with 755 nm alexandrite laser in 14 patients showed a decrease in excess hair at the armpit and thigh areas, with a 75% accuracy rate in hair density estimation using Monte Carlo modeling.

This study found that boosting the synthesis of neural-derived 17β-estradiol effectively counteracted the impairment of hippocampal long-term potentiation caused by amyloid beta 1-42 in rat hippocampal slices, with the effect seemingly linked to glutamate NMDAR signaling.

This source discusses androgenetic alopecia, noting that male patients may transition from topical minoxidil to its systemic form or from finasteride to dutasteride for potentially better results, while female patients might require extensive lab testing to identify hyperandrogenism due to environmental triggers.

This review explores new treatment strategies for alopecia areata, highlighting that oral tofacitinib and the 308-nm excimer laser may aid hair regrowth, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that 660 nm laser treatment and povidone iodine both eradicated Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in mice wounds, with the laser enhancing healing, and the combination provided additive or synergistic healing benefits.

This study observed that patients with alopecia areata in the U.S. have a higher prevalence of several chronic illnesses, including essential hypertension, compared to controls.

This study found that laser hair removal is optimal for light to moderate skin tones using 10-15 J/cm² at 755 nm and for dark skin with 4.5-10 J/cm² at 755-1064 nm.

This study evaluated current treatments for pediatric alopecia areata and found that high potency topical steroids had the strongest supporting evidence, with promising results also observed for anthralin ointment and other treatments in lower-grade studies.

This article reviews applications of optical coherence tomography techniques in medicine, including for diagnosing androgenic alopecia and monitoring blood coagulation, but provides no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers reported that IL-17C plays a key pro-inflammatory role in human skin diseases and may be a promising therapeutic target for inflammatory skin conditions.

This study found that DC-HIL+ myeloid derived suppressor cells are increased in the blood and skin of patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus and show immunosuppressive properties.
