This study of patients with moderate to severe alopecia areata in Morocco found that oral betamethasone mini-pulses yielded ≥50% hair regrowth in 62.5% of cases, improved quality of life scores, and were generally well-tolerated, though relapses and mild side effects were noted.

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

This study found that a combination of low-dose isotretinoin and oral azithromycin pulse effectively treats severe acne with an acceptable side effect profile and relatively low relapse rates.

This study found that azathioprine pulse therapy and betamethasone both effectively managed alopecia areata with similar hair regrowth results, though betamethasone had significantly more side effects, suggesting azathioprine as a preferable alternative to corticosteroids.

This study demonstrated that weekly azathioprine pulse therapy was more effective than betamethasone oral mini-pulse in promoting hair regrowth in patients with moderate to severe alopecia areata.

Both treatments help with hair regrowth in alopecia areata, but azathioprine has milder side effects than betamethasone.

In this prospective clinical trial, azathioprine with steroid minipulse therapy and methotrexate with steroid minipulse therapy both improved hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients, but methotrexate showed slightly higher efficacy.

This study reported that gain-of-function mutations in TRPV3 lead to hair loss in mice by disrupting inner root sheath keratinocyte differentiation, ultimately causing follicular keratinocyte stem cell exhaustion and permanent follicle disruption.

This study suggests that pulsed wave photobiomodulation could be a promising treatment for androgenetic alopecia by enhancing dermal papilla cell function through specific light parameters, particularly frequency.

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.

This review suggests that fractional CO2 laser treatment may be a promising option for treating alopecia areata with a good safety profile.

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.

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 study found that the AOPT-MTL mode is an effective and safe treatment option for nasal blackheads in Asians, indicating potential for widespread clinical use.

This case study of a patient with dissecting cellulitis of the scalp found that multiple medications, including isotretinoin, achieved only modest improvement, and symptoms returned after treatments were stopped.

In this institution-based randomized trial, oral betamethasone mini-pulse therapy for alopecia areata showed a faster therapeutic response compared to oral tofacitinib, as measured by trichoscopic changes and achievement of 50% hair regrowth.

This review discusses the modest efficacy of home-use laser and light devices for conditions like hair removal and acne, noting limited evidence and a lack of robust trials.

This article reviews traditional and modern methods for treating pilosis with both Korean medicine and current technologies, but it does not provide new clinical results.

This article highlights the significant challenge that tissue regeneration presents to modern medicine, emphasizing its importance in improving quality of life.

This article reviews existing treatments for hypertrichosis and hirsutism, noting that while eflornithine is a promising new option, the efficacy of systemic antiandrogens remains unproven in modern clinical studies.

This study found that repeated treatments with the long-pulsed ruby laser result in a small but statistically significant reduction in unwanted hair, with high patient satisfaction despite modest efficacy.

This review discusses the diagnostic classification and traditional Korean medicine treatments for abnormal hair growth and reports no new clinical results; it suggests that combining these with modern technology may enhance cosmetology advances.

This study found that intense pulse light and diode laser treatments were similarly effective and tolerable for reducing unwanted facial hair in female patients with hirsutism, with no significant differences in hair reduction, adverse effects, or patient satisfaction between the two methods.

This study found that applying a low intensive pulse magnetic field significantly accelerated wound healing in rats by promoting the proliferation and differentiation of skin epidermal stem cells.

This study found that anagen-phase hair follicles in mice are particularly sensitive to damage by ruby laser pulses, resulting in alopecia without scarring, suggesting enhanced laser hair removal strategies.

This article is a letter to the editor about high-dose pulsed corticosteroid therapy combined with methotrexate for severe childhood alopecia areata and provides no new clinical results.

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

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 article reviews treatments for facial hypertrichosis and hirsutism and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the potential of laser and pulsed flash-light systems for permanent hair removal.

This report describes a case where solar-induced postinflammatory hyperpigmentation following laser hair removal was treated with a combination of topical treatments and serial TCA peels, resulting in only slight improvement.
