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 review found that most studies support the effectiveness and safety of using hyaluronic acid fillers and laser treatments together for facial rejuvenation, but highlights that the evidence is limited to small, nonrandomized studies and additional research is necessary.

This review discusses the combination of laser hair removal and topical eflornithine for managing resistant hirsutism, providing guidance based on existing clinical data, but reports no new results.

This study found that Er–YAG laser treatment significantly enhanced skin absorption and follicular delivery of antialopecia drugs, suggesting a potential laser-assisted approach to treat alopecia.

This review discusses the use of laser and flashlamp technology for unwanted hair removal and reports no new clinical results, highlighting challenges with light-colored hair and treatment safety for darker skin tones.

This study found that 1,540 nm fractional erbium-glass laser treatment combined with topical minoxidil significantly increased hair regrowth in alopecia areata patches compared to minoxidil alone, with response rates of 60% versus 16%, though the long-term effects remain unknown.

This study evaluated the use of low-level laser therapy for treating androgenic alopecia in adults, finding it a promising and safe at-home option for stimulating hair growth compared to sham devices, though further research is needed to confirm its clinical effectiveness.

This review suggests that paradoxical hair growth after light-based treatments is unlikely due to the devices themselves; instead, it may be linked to other factors such as inflammation in individuals with certain conditions.

This study found that adding low-level laser therapy to conventional treatment for canine acral lick dermatitis significantly increased hair growth compared to conventional therapy alone, but did not significantly reduce licking behavior.

This study found that LAHR significantly improves the quality of life in the short term for women with PCOS, but underscores a need for further research to develop long-term treatment strategies.

This study found that 675 nm laser treatment improved androgenetic alopecia in Indian patients, resulting in significant increases in hair count, density, and thickness after 14 sessions, enhancing the anagen phase and other hair-related parameters.

In this case study, a 55-year-old male with a history of hypospadias repair developed urinary complications due to urethral hair bezoars, and the researchers reported that transcutaneous ND:YAG laser epilation effectively removed urethral hair, preventing recurrence of such issues.

In this study, 14 sessions of 675 nm laser stimulation significantly improved hair count, density, and thickness in Indian patients with androgenetic alopecia, with an increase of around 17% in hair parameters over four months.

This study found that oral minoxidil 5 mg daily significantly improved hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia, though it may cause minor side effects like hypertrichosis and pedal edema.

Low-Level Laser Therapy can stimulate healing and cell function, potentially leading to wider medical use.

This study found that using ectopic expression of CD24 is a promising approach for selecting genetically modified human epidermal stem cells for safe cutaneous gene therapy in cancer-prone conditions.

This study found that the HairMax LaserComb® significantly increased hair density and was safe and well tolerated for treating androgenetic alopecia in men compared to a sham device.

Minoxidil increases blood flow in balding scalps, possibly reversing hair loss.

This abstract contains no research results; it provides information about the JAMA Dermatology journal and its access options.

This study found that while laser hair removal improves quality of life for women with facial hirsutism, emotional benefits diminish over 30 months and additional treatments may be necessary to maintain improvements.

This review found that low-level laser therapy appears promising in improving hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in androgenetic alopecia, though results should be interpreted cautiously.

In a rat model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, this study found that low-level laser treatment significantly accelerated hair regrowth without affecting the efficacy of chemotherapy.

In this clinical study, low-level laser therapy using the HANDI-DOME LASER device increased hair counts by 51% compared to controls, indicating its potential as a safe and effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia in women aged 18 to 60.

This study found that using layer-by-layer encapsulation techniques on dermal papilla cells can support their function and may help treat hair loss when used in conjunction with freshly isolated epidermal cells.

This study found that low-level laser therapy with an 830-nm wavelength most significantly stimulated hair growth in rats, compared to other wavelengths tested.

LLLT is a safe, promising hair loss treatment, but more research needed.

This study found that low-level laser therapy effectively reduced relapse rates, while functional appliances did not; combining them offered no additional benefits.

This review summarizes late-breaking abstracts from the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, 2018, and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, both topical clobetasol propionate and fractional Er: YAG laser followed by topical steroids demonstrated significant improvement in patients with alopecia areata, but the combined laser and steroid treatment was found to be more effective and safe.

The authors concluded that low energy laser therapy may serve as a useful complementary treatment for skin diseases such as lichen planus, infectious finger pulpits, scalp alopecia, and crural ulcers.
