research Issue Information
research Combination of a non-ablative 1,927 nm thulium fiber fractional laser and autologous platelet-rich plasma in treatment of male androgenetic alopecia: A pilot study
Using a special laser and platelet-rich plasma together is safe and improves hair growth in men with hair loss.
research Fixed, low radiant exposure vs. incremental radiant exposure approach for diode laser hair reduction: a randomized, split axilla, comparative single‐blinded trial
Both fixed and incremental laser treatments effectively reduced underarm hair, but the fixed method was less painful.
research Fractional erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser 2940 nm-assisted delivery of topical timolol solution for the treatment of histiocytoid hemangioma

research Treatment of Corticosteroid-Induced Hypopigmentation Using Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser
research 633 Low-level pulsed wave red light induces type I procollagen protein and ATP production at shorter treatment times as compared to continuous wave red light
Pulsed red light boosts collagen and energy in cells faster than continuous red light.
research Dermographic urticaria induced by long-pulsed diode laser-assisted epilation: Rare etiology of a common eruption
A rare skin reaction from laser hair removal can be prevented with medication.
research Hair removal evaluated with a filterless flashlamp‐based system: a preliminary study in 10 patients
The filterless flashlamp-based system effectively delays hair regrowth and improves skin condition.
research Comparison of the effects of 665 nm low level diode Laser Hat versus and a combination of 665 nm and 808nm low level diode Laser Scanner of hair growth in androgenic alopecia
The laser scanner device was more effective at increasing hair density than the laser hat in treating androgenic alopecia.
research Expression of collagen type I, skin fibroblasts and macrophages after 1550 nm erbium glass fractional laser in androgenic alopecia
The 1550 nm fractional Er:Glass laser improved hair regrowth in patients with androgenic alopecia, but didn't significantly change collagen type I, skin fibroblasts, or macrophages. More research is needed for optimal results.
research Lasers for Other Specific Dermatologic Disorders
Lasers and light therapy are effective for treating skin conditions like hair loss, vitiligo, psoriasis, and molluscum contagiosum.
