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.

In this case report, hair graying improved in a patient with male pattern hair loss after combined treatment with thulium laser energy and polydeoxyribonucleotide injections, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits.

This study found that a combination of microneedling with growth factors and low-level light therapy led to visible hair regrowth without side effects in a patient with trichotillomania.

In this study, four male patients with extensively photodamaged scalps showed a 60-90% improvement in dyspigmentation, lentigines, and keratosis after a single treatment with the fractionated 1,927 nm thulium fiber laser, with no adverse events observed.

This study introduced a novel microscopy system using an Er3 + −doped femtosecond fiber laser, achieving detailed imaging of biological structures in plant and skin samples with improved spatial resolution for various applications, including in vivo imaging.

New therapy helps treat hair loss.

This study found that low-level laser therapy may improve hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia, either as a standalone treatment or combined with minoxidil or finasteride, without reported adverse reactions.

This study found that low-level laser therapy at 8 J/cm2 improved cosmetic surgical scar healing in canines after thoraco-lumbar hemilaminectomy compared to controls.

This review concludes that current clinical and preclinical evidence does not indicate oncologic safety concerns linked to photobiomodulation therapy for skin rejuvenation, including no clear evidence of increased cancer risk.

In this study, researchers found that specific treatment parameters disrupted follicles and sebaceous glands, damaging the bacteria Cutibacterium acnes and promoting follicular remodeling, which may improve both inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesions.

This study found that 448-kHz Capacitive-Resistive Electrothermal Therapy led to a significant increase in hair density in women with Female Pattern Hair Loss, likely due to stimulated proliferation of dermal papilla cells.

Low-level laser therapy may help regrow hair in dogs with non-inflammatory hair loss.

This review discusses the current evidence and highlights gaps in research needed for the wider acceptance of low-level laser therapy as a treatment for hair loss; no new clinical results are provided.

In this case report, a 15-year-old golden retriever with calcinosis cutis showed accelerated improvement in FLE-treated skin infections compared to untreated areas, highlighting FLE's potential as a treatment adjunct.

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.

This review found that low-level laser therapy significantly increased hair density in adults with androgenic alopecia compared to sham treatments, with greater effects observed at lower treatment frequencies.

This review discusses photobiomodulation therapy for different types of alopecia and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight potential mechanisms and future perspectives.

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 review explores low-level light therapy's potential as a noninvasive treatment for various forms of alopecia, noting its promising results in hair regrowth and density but highlighting the need for standardized protocols and further research.

This study found that low fluence photoepilation with intense pulsed light targets the pigmented area of hair follicles, causing temporary hair loss by inducing a catagen-like state without severe follicle damage.

This article reviews the versatile applications of red and infrared light therapy, reporting that these treatments can enhance skin health by modulating cellular processes such as RNA and protein synthesis, oxygen consumption, and reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

In this study, combining low-level laser therapy with microneedling showed statistically significant improvement in hair growth for three adult patients with androgenetic alopecia over three months, suggesting it may be a promising management approach.

In this prospective study, individuals with androgenetic alopecia using a home-use low-level laser therapy helmet for 48 weeks experienced significant increases in hair density and thickness, with reported improvements consistent across sexes and no device-related adverse events.

This study found that the Hair660™ low-level light therapy device significantly improved hair density and was safe for men with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks.

This review discusses low-level light therapy for androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, noting minimal clinical evidence on its efficacy and the need for more controlled studies.

This study suggests that selective photothermolysis of sebaceous glands using free electron laser pulses may offer a novel approach to treating acne by causing targeted thermal damage without affecting the epidermis.

This study found that photodynamic therapy with methyl 5-aminolevulinic acid was ineffective for treating alopecia totalis, even with microneedle rolling to enhance drug delivery.

This study observed that 675-nm diode laser therapy may serve as a safe and possibly effective adjuvant treatment for telogen effluvium, showing improvements in hair pull test results, pruritus, and trichodynia among patients. However, controlled studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.

This study found that Fructus Ligustri Lucidi water extract significantly increased proliferation in human hair dermal papilla cells, potentially promoting hair growth by activating ERK and Akt pathways.
