research Effect of Polarized Light Therapy on Hair Regrowth in Alopecia Areata
Polarized light therapy helps hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients.
research Comparative study of efficacy of excimer light therapy vs intralesional triamcinolone vs topical 5% minoxidil: an observational study
Intralesional triamcinolone is the most effective treatment for hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients.
research Comparative study of efficacy of excimer light therapy vs. intralesional triamcinolone vs. topical 5% minoxidil for alopecia areata: an observational study

research A clinical overview of hair removal using lasers and light sources
Lasers and light sources can effectively remove hair, work best on fair skin with dark hair, and usually need multiple treatments.
research Clinically Significant Axial Shortening in Myopic Children After Repeated Low-Level Red Light Therapy: A Retrospective Multicenter Analysis
Low-level red light therapy can shorten eye length in some myopic children.
research Hair removal using a pulsed-intense light source.
Pulsed-intense light can significantly reduce hair, with effectiveness depending on treatment number and timing, and has mild side effects.
research Increased Insulin Sensitivity by Metformin Enhances Intense-Pulsed-Light-Assisted Hair Removal in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

research Studies of light scattering from ethnic hair fibers
Different hair types from various ethnic groups affect hair shine due to characteristics like thickness and shape.
research Low-level light-assisted photodynamic therapy using a wearable cap-like device for the treatment of actinic keratosis of the scalp
A wearable cap-like device using light therapy reduced scalp skin lesions by 71% and was painless.
research Platelet‐rich plasma with low dose oral minoxidil (1.25mg versus 2.5mg) along with trichoscopic pre‐ and post‐treatment evaluation
Combining platelet-rich plasma therapy with low dose oral minoxidil improved hair growth in men with hair loss, with slightly higher satisfaction at the higher minoxidil dose.
research Effect of intense pulsed-light therapy on hair regrowth in C57BL/6J mice mediated by WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway
Intense pulsed-light therapy helps mice grow hair by activating a specific growth pathway.
