Combining microneedling with Q-switched laser treatment for tattoo removal did not improve results and caused more pain.
research Comparison of the efficacy of 15% Minoxidil with Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) in treatment of patients with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) – a single blind randomized clinical trial
Both treatments improved hair loss, but 15% Minoxidil caused more side effects than Low Level Laser Therapy.
research Sonographic comparison of subcutaneous fat layer thickness in the scalp area in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to healthy individuals: Cross‐sectional
Patients with androgenetic alopecia have thinner subcutaneous fat layers in their frontal scalp compared to healthy individuals.
research RETRACTED: The investigation and comparison of the efficacy and safety of stromal vascular fraction (SVF), platelet rich plasma (PRP), and 1064‐nm Q‐switched Nd:YAG laser in reducing nanofat treated infraorbital dark circles and wrinkles: A controlled blinded randomized clinical trial
Combining treatments significantly reduces dark circles and wrinkles better than nanofat alone.
research Laser-assisted hair transplantation: histologic comparison between holmium:YAG and CO2 lasers
The CO₂ laser is better for hair transplantation because it causes less damage than the Ho:YAG laser.
