675-Nm Diode Laser as an Adjuvant Treatment for Telogen Effluvium: Case Series

A retrospective case series involving 13 patients with telogen effluvium (TE) at a Dermatologic Laser Center in Mexico explored the use of 675-nm diode laser therapy as an adjuvant treatment. Results showed that 72% of patients with a positive baseline pull test became negative at follow-up, pruritus improved in 83% of symptomatic patients, and trichodynia resolved in 75%. No adverse events were reported. The study suggests that the 675-nm diode laser is a safe and potentially effective treatment for TE, though controlled studies are necessary to confirm its efficacy and establish standardized treatment protocols.
