research Low level laser therapy and hair regrowth: an evidence-based review
Low-level laser therapy is safe and can increase hair growth for male and female pattern hair loss.
research Laser treatment for female facial hirsutism: are quality-of-life benefits sustainable?
Laser hair removal improves quality of life but emotional benefits decrease over time, suggesting more treatments are needed for lasting effects.
research Low-level laser therapy for the treatment of androgenic alopecia: a review
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a safe and effective treatment for common hair loss, but more research is needed to find the best power and wavelength for treatment.
research Hair removal using an Nd: YAG laser system.
Nd:YAG laser can reduce hair with multiple treatments, but permanent removal isn't guaranteed.
research A randomized, investigator-blinded, controlled, split-scalp study of the efficacy and safety of a 1550-nm fractional erbium-glass laser, used in combination with topical 5% minoxidil versus 5% minoxidil alone, for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
Laser and minoxidil combo promotes better hair growth than minoxidil alone, safely.
research Efficacy of low‐level laser therapy on hair regrowth in dogs with noninflammatory alopecia: a pilot study
Low-level laser therapy seems to help dogs with noninflammatory alopecia grow hair back.
research Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal works well for people with dark hair and light skin, but it's less effective for light hair or dark skin; improvements are expected.
research Epilation with a long-pulse 1064nm Nd:YAG laser in facial hirsutism
The Nd:YAG laser safely reduces facial hair and slows regrowth, with patient satisfaction.
research A review on laser and light-based therapies for alopecia areata
Laser and light therapies, especially the 308 nm excimer laser, are effective and safe for treating alopecia areata, but more research is needed.
research Enhancing hair follicle regeneration by nonablative fractional laser: Assessment of irradiation parameters and tissue response
Using a fractional laser can stimulate hair growth, but the intensity and duration of inflammation are crucial. Too much can cause ulcers and scarring. Lower beam energy and fewer treatments are recommended to avoid damage.
research Evaluation of wavelength-dependent hair growth effects on low-level laser therapy: an experimental animal study
The 830-nm wavelength was most effective at promoting hair growth in rats using low-level laser therapy.
research Low fluence-high repetition rate diode laser hair removal 12-month evaluation: Reducing pain and risks while keeping clinical efficacy
A low-power, fast laser safely reduces hair with minimal pain and few side effects.
research Laser Hair Reduction and Removal
Laser hair removal is effective for dark hair but needs improvement for nonpigmented or fine hairs.
research Hair removal with the long-pulse alexandrite laser
The long-pulse alexandrite laser effectively removes hair permanently.
research Is paradoxical hair growth caused by low-level radiant exposure by home-use laser and intense pulsed light devices?
Home-use lasers and IPL devices are unlikely to directly cause paradoxical hair growth; it may be linked to inflammation or hormonal issues.
research At-Home Laser and Light-Based Devices
At-home laser and light devices can safely reduce acne and hair growth when used correctly but are less effective than professional treatments.
research Dose‐response of human follicles during laser‐based hair removal: Ex vivo photoepilation model with classification system embracing morphological and histological features
Higher light doses cause more damage to hair follicles, predicting better hair removal results.
research A Randomized Controlled, Single-Observer Blinded Study on the Safety and Efficacy of a Combination of 678nm Helmet-Type Low-level Laser Therapy and Topical Minoxidil 5% Versus Topical Minoxidil 5% Alone in the Treatment of Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Using a laser helmet with Minoxidil works better for male hair loss than Minoxidil alone, with no extra side effects.
research Lasers in Hair Growth and Hair Transplantation
Lasers are less favored for hair transplant surgery but show promise for hair growth in controlled trials.
research STIMULATION OF HAIR REGROWTH USING LOW LEVEL LASER TREATMENT IN A RAT MODEL OF ALOPECIA
Low-level laser therapy combined with Neoptide improved hair regrowth better than either treatment alone in rats.
research Hair removal using a long-pulsed alexandrite laser.
The long-pulsed alexandrite laser is effective for hair reduction, particularly for light-skinned individuals with dark hair, but caution is needed for darker skin.
research Self-Reported Outcome After Diode Laser Hair Removal
Most patients were satisfied with diode laser hair removal and experienced no long-term side effects.
research A prospective, comparative evaluation of axillary hair removal with an 808-nm diode laser at different fluences
Higher fluences in 808-nm diode laser treatments are more effective for axillary hair removal.
research LLLT: Does It Work?
Low-level laser therapy seems to promote hair growth but requires more research to confirm its effectiveness.
research The use of low-level light for hair growth: Part I
Low-level laser therapy might help hair growth, but more research is needed.
research Treatment of Pseudofolliculitis With a Pulsed Infrared Laser
Pulsed infrared laser can effectively reduce symptoms of pseudofolliculitis barbae.
research Alopecia: A review of laser and light therapies
Lasers might help hair growth in some alopecia cases, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
