research A9. Excess hair: physical and pharmacological treatments
Laser and Eflornithine are more effective for hair removal than traditional methods.
research Commentary
The Epilight Hair Removal System is effective for temporary hair removal with few side effects, but more research is needed to confirm its safety and long-term results.
research A study of plasma zinc levels in Thais with androgenetic alopecia
People with hair loss have low zinc levels; zinc supplements and laser therapy may help.
research Symposium 6-4 (SYP 6-4) : Recent progress in the treatment of male pattern hair loss: Lasers and devices
Laser and light treatments show promise for hair growth but need more research.
research Hair removal by lasers and intense pulsed light sources
Lasers and intense pulsed light can safely and effectively remove hair by targeting hair follicles.
research Host-microbiome interactions and recent progress into understanding the biology of acne vulgaris
Acne is linked to complex skin microbe interactions, and new findings suggest microbiome-based treatments could be effective.
research The efficacy of a photolyase-based device on the cancerization field: a clinical and thermographic study
The photolyase-based device significantly changed the size and heat of potential skin cancer areas in patients.
research Electrolysis and thermolysis for permanent hair removal
The document concludes that electrolysis and thermolysis can permanently remove hair but calls for better regulation to ensure safety, and notes a possibility of hair regrowth and rare complications.
research Contact cooling of the skin
Skin can be cooled quickly and safely during laser treatments to protect it without affecting deeper layers.
research Growth Inhibition and Transient Temperature Measurement of Laser-Irradiated Hair Fibers and Follicles
Laser treatment can inhibit hair growth and different hair colors reach different temperatures when lasered.
research Photobiomodulation Therapy in Plastic Surgery and Dermatology
Photobiomodulation therapy is beneficial in plastic surgery and dermatology.
research Photodynamic therapy for hair removal
Photodynamic therapy with methylene blue and a laser effectively destroys hair follicles better than traditional laser hair removal.
research Histologic comparison of microscopic treatment zones induced by fractional lasers and radiofrequency
Different lasers and radiofrequency affect skin differently, important for dermatologists to choose the right treatment.
research Hair reduction: 48 months of experience with 800nm diode laser
An 800nm diode laser safely and effectively reduces hair for about 8 months, with most patients satisfied and few side effects.
research Laser hair transplantation: Is it really state of the art?
Lasers in hair transplantation may have potential but require caution due to possible damage and reduced graft survival.
research Small animal models of thermal injury
research Objective evaluation of photoepilation by phototrichogram
Photoepilation significantly reduces hair, and phototrichograms can objectively measure its effectiveness.
research Temporary hair removal by low fluence photoepilation: Histological study on biopsies and cultured human hair follicles
Low fluence photoepilation temporarily removes hair by targeting the hair follicle's pigmented area without severe damage.
research Hair Growth Cycle Affects Hair Follicle Destruction by Ruby Laser Pulses
Ruby laser pulses best destroy hair follicles during the growth phase and effectiveness varies with laser intensity; melanin is key for targeting, and timing treatments can improve results.
research Long-Term Epilation Using the EpiLight Broad Band, Intense Pulsed Light Hair Removal System
The EpiLight Hair Removal System removed about 60% of hair with some side effects, and more research is needed to confirm long-term effectiveness.
research Fractional resurfacing in the Asian patient: Current state of the art
Fractional resurfacing is safe and effective for certain skin conditions in Asian patients, but care must be taken to avoid skin pigmentation issues.
research A randomized, investigator-blinded, controlled, split-scalp study of the efficacy and safety of a 1550-nm fractional erbium-glass laser, used in combination with topical 5% minoxidil versus 5% minoxidil alone, for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
Laser and minoxidil combo promotes better hair growth than minoxidil alone, safely.
research Efficacy of fractional lasers in treating alopecia: a literature review
Fractional lasers seem effective and safe for treating hair loss, but more research is needed to find the best treatment methods.
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 Fractional non-ablative laser-assisted drug delivery leads to improvement in male and female pattern hair loss
Laser-assisted drug delivery improves hair loss.
research Analysis of epidermal protection using cold air versus chilled sapphire window with water or gel during 810 nm diode laser application
Cold air and a chilled sapphire window both protect the skin during laser treatments, and work better with water or gel, especially for darker skin.
research Low fluence-high repetition rate diode laser hair removal 12-month evaluation: Reducing pain and risks while keeping clinical efficacy
A low-power, fast laser safely reduces hair with minimal pain and few side effects.
research Clinical and microscopic evaluation of long-term (6 months) epilation effects of the ipulse personal home-use intense pulsed light (IPL) device
The home-use IPL device effectively reduced hair and delayed its regrowth after six months of use, with users happy and no negative side effects.
