In this study, researchers demonstrated that treating platelet rich plasma with microsecond pulsed electric fields effectively activates platelets and induces similar or higher growth factor release compared to traditional bovine thrombin, suggesting a potential clinical use that may be more cost-effective and practical.

In this study, researchers found that progesterone promotes breast tumor growth in mice through its metabolite 5αP, which can be blocked by the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride.

This article reviews the basics of hair follicle biology, laser/tissue interactions, and hirsutism and hypertrichosis causes, discussing the long-pulsed alexandrite laser's role in hair reduction without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that the Epilight multiple wavelength pulsed-intense light source was effective for long-lasting hair removal, particularly in individuals with dark hair and light skin.

This article reviews the biological and physical principles of laser hair removal and reports that current laser systems do not consistently achieve permanent hair follicle destruction across treated areas.

This review examines the devices, mechanisms, risks, side effects, and regulatory differences in laser hair removal, particularly highlighting the lack of regulation in South Africa and its implications for patient safety.

In this study, methylprednisolone pulse therapy was found to be effective for severe alopecia areata patients, especially those with a short disease duration or plurifocal type.

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 found that increasing energy fluence, session duration, and using pulsed irradiation significantly enhance hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia when using low-level laser therapy, while the number of diodes does not affect outcomes.

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 monthly oral prednisolone pulses of 300 mg were effective and safe for treating widespread alopecia areata, with 58.3% of patients achieving cosmetically acceptable hair growth.

Low-dose pulsed electric fields in a rat model shifted hair follicles from resting to active growth, with voltage as the most influential factor.

This systematic review of pulse corticosteroid therapy for alopecia areata found relatively low complete response rates, but responders experienced low relapse rates, indicating potential benefits for patients with favorable prognostic factors.

This study found that intravenous high-dose pulse corticosteroids resulted in a complete response in 38% of children with alopecia areata, but the majority of responders relapsed within a year.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata and less than 50% hair loss showed a good response to pulse therapy with methylprednisolone, while those with more extensive hair loss also improved but required more courses.

This article reports on twice-weekly 5 mg betamethasone oral pulse therapy for alopecia areata but provides no clinical results.

Mini pulse corticosteroid therapy with oral dexamethasone is effective and has fewer side effects for treating extensive alopecia areata.

In this study at Tohoku University Hospital, 41% of severe alopecia areata patients achieved significant hair regrowth with baricitinib treatment over 9 months, with predictors of better outcomes including shorter disease duration, female sex, initial mild disease, certain alopecia types, and prior IVMP therapy.

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.

This study found that while 51.3% of severe alopecia areata patients achieved significant hair regrowth with intravenous methylprednisolone, oral Janus kinase inhibitors may benefit those who do not respond to this treatment.

This study reported that a single treatment with a short-pulsed 755-nm alexandrite laser effectively treated trichostasis spinulosa in patients with skin types II to V, providing rapid results with minimal pain and no recurrence during a 3-month follow-up.

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 narrative review discusses the evolution and diverse medical applications of laser technologies, particularly in dermatology and skin biology, without reporting new research findings.

This abstract describes monilethrix, an autosomal dominant genodermatosis with symptoms like hair fragility and keratosis pilaris, and does not report new experimental results.

This study found that hypertensive patients with severe androgenic alopecia exhibited impaired coronary microcirculation, suggesting they may face increased cardiovascular risk.

This study found that continuous itraconazole therapy was more effective than pulse therapy for treating tinea capitis caused by Microsporum ferrugineum, with a higher cumulative cure rate and no significant adverse effects.

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

This study reported that zinc hyaluronate electroporation enhanced hair growth in patients with androgenic alopecia, and combining it with pulsed photostimulatory therapy further improved these results.

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 study found that pneumatic skin flattening (PSF) significantly reduces pain and post-treatment erythema during high-energy IPL and laser hair removal while enhancing treatment efficacy.
