Laser-like light treatment for excess hair in PCOS and gender dysphoria
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests “intense pulsed light” (a light-based treatment) to reduce unwanted facial or body hair. It may help people who have excess hair due to PCOS and who have been evaluated for gender dysphoria, if it’s safe for their skin and hair type.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old.

This trial tests a light-based device (IPL) to treat unwanted hair, acne, redness (rosacea), or age spots. It may help if you are an adult with one of these skin concerns and have a lighter skin type (not very dark). The treatment is quick and gentle, with little downtime.
This study tests whether combining a face cream with a laser treatment works better than the cream alone for reducing unwanted facial hair in women. It aims to find a more effective treatment for hirsutism (excess hair growth).
This study compares two types of laser treatments to see which works better for women with hair loss on the top or front of the scalp. The lasers are non-invasive and aim to stimulate hair growth.
This trial tests whether adding exosomes (tiny cell-repair particles) to a fractional laser treatment helps regrow hair more effectively than laser alone in men with common pattern baldness. If you qualify, you'll receive treatment on part of your scalp while doctors compare both approaches.
This trial tests a product made from your own hair follicles, used alongside common cosmetic procedures like laser or microneedling, to see if it improves results. It is open to people who are already planning a medical aesthetic procedure.
This study tests a combination of a scalp solution and LED light therapy to treat androgenic alopecia (female pattern hair loss). The goal is to see if the two treatments together can help regrow hair and improve scalp health.
