research A review on laser and light-based therapies for alopecia areata
Laser and light therapies, especially the 308 nm excimer laser, are effective and safe for treating alopecia areata, but more research is needed.
research The dark art of light measurement: accurate radiometry for low-level light therapy
Most low-level light therapy studies did not accurately report how light was measured, affecting treatment reliability.
research Photodynamic and photobiological effects of light-emitting diode (LED) therapy in dermatological disease: an update
LED therapy is safe and shows potential for treating skin conditions and promoting hair growth, but more research is needed.
research Diagnosis of sports‐related dermatoses
Different sports can cause specific skin conditions that need proper diagnosis and treatment.
research Lichen Planopilaris and Low-Level Light Therapy: Four Case Reports and Review of the Literature About Low-Level Light Therapy and Lichenoid Dermatosis
Low-Level Light Therapy significantly reduced inflammation and promoted hair regrowth in patients with Lichen planopilaris.
research Is paradoxical hair growth caused by low-level radiant exposure by home-use laser and intense pulsed light devices?
Home-use lasers and IPL devices are unlikely to directly cause paradoxical hair growth; it may be linked to inflammation or hormonal issues.
research Low-level light therapy (LLLT) for cosmetics and dermatology
Low-Level Light Therapy is effective for skin rejuvenation, wound healing, and hair growth, with mild side effects.
research Comparative study of efficacy of excimer light therapy vs. intralesional triamcinolone vs. topical 5% minoxidil for alopecia areata: an observational study
Intralesional triamcinolone is the most effective treatment for alopecia areata, followed by excimer light therapy, and then topical minoxidil. The scalp responds better to treatment than the beard area.
research Weathering of the hairless scalp: a study using skin capacitance imaging and ultraviolet light-enhanced visualization
The study found that long-term sun exposure does not significantly affect follicular plugs on the scalp, and the scalp's appearance is unique compared to other body parts.
research Shedding Light on Acne Scars: A Comprehensive Review of CO2 vs. Erbium-Doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (Er:YAG) Laser Therapy
CO2 lasers are better for severe acne scars, while Er:YAG lasers are gentler with fewer side effects.
research Chemical Compatibility and Safety of Imidacloprid/Flumethrin Collar (Seresto®) Concomitantly Used with Imidacloprid/Moxidectin (Advocate®, Advantage® Multi) and Emodepside/Praziquantel (Profender®) Spot-on Formulations
Seresto® collar is safe to use with Advocate® and Profender® on dogs and cats.
research Effects of Visible Light on the Skin†
Visible light can damage skin and most sunscreens don't block it well; more research is needed on its effects and protection methods.
research The growth of human scalp hair in females using visible red light laser and LED sources
Red light therapy is safe and effectively increases hair growth in women with hair loss.
research Near Infrared (NIR) Light Therapy of Eye Diseases: A Review
NIR light therapy may effectively treat eye diseases and improve brain function without side effects.
research Hair removal with intense pulsed light
Intense pulsed light (IPL) is an efficient and safe method for hair removal, reducing hair by about 80%.
research Wnt/β‐catenin and ERK pathway activation: A possible mechanism of photobiomodulation therapy with light‐emitting diodes that regulate the proliferation of human outer root sheath cells
LED light therapy may help hair growth by activating certain cell pathways.
research Repeated Low-Level Red-Light Therapy for Controlling Onset and Progression of Myopia-a Review
Red-light therapy may slow myopia progression better than traditional treatments.
research Photobiomodulation: The Clinical Applications of Low-Level Light Therapy
Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is a safe and effective method for skin rejuvenation, acne treatment, wound healing, body contouring, and hair growth, but more well-designed trials are needed for confirmation.
research The effects of narrowbands of visible light upon some skin disorders: a review
Visible light can improve skin disorders and hair loss, but more research is needed to understand long-term effects.
research Effect of ultraviolet light on topical minoxidil-induced hair growth in advanced male pattern baldness
UV light does not significantly affect minoxidil's ability to treat male pattern baldness.
research Shedding light on therapeutics in alopecia and their relevance to COVID-19
Some alopecia treatments might help treat COVID-19, but more research is needed.
research Effects of bright light exposure during daytime on peripheral clock gene expression in humans
Bright light during the day doesn't change most human clock genes but may slightly increase Rev-erb-ß.
research Illuminating microflora: shedding light on the potential of blue light to modulate the cutaneous microbiome
Blue light might help treat skin conditions by affecting the skin's bacteria.
research Wnt/β-catenin and ERK pathway activation: The possible mechanism of various light-emitting diode light regulates the proliferation of human outer root sheath cells
