February 2025 in “Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” This study found that ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy enhanced the identification of follicular openings in alopecia areata, potentially aiding in the assessment of disease severity and treatment strategies.
June 2026 in “Current Opinion in Pediatrics” This study emphasized that trichoscopy and ultraviolet-enhanced follicular dermoscopy enhance diagnostic accuracy in adolescent alopecia, while systemic JAK inhibitors offer promising treatment options, reflecting the need for specialized, etiology-driven approaches and highlighting knowledge gaps in prevention and long-term outcomes.

February 2025 in “Dermatology and Therapy” In this observational retrospective study, UVF-dermoscopy was found to be more effective than polarized dermoscopy in identifying follicular features and distinguishing between scarring and nonscarring alopecias, particularly in individuals with lighter skin tones.
January 2025 in “Journal of Fungi” This case report highlights the importance of early mycological diagnostics, supported by dermoscopy and ultraviolet-enhanced fluorescence dermoscopy, in preventing scarring from kerion celsi-associated hair loss in children.
January 2026 in “Dermatology and Therapy” This study suggests that using UVFD to examine non-pigmented facial lesions can potentially enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies.
