Laser treatment for scarring hair loss with gene study
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if a non-ablative laser can help treat scarring alopecia (a type of hair loss where follicles are replaced by scar tissue). Researchers will also study your hair follicles' genes to understand how the laser works. It may be an option if your hair loss has been stable for at least 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a specific 1470nm laser can improve hair loss in people with certain scalp conditions. It looks for people whose hair loss is stable for several months and who can keep their usual hair treatments unchanged during the study.
This study tests a type of laser treatment for hair loss in people with darker skin (types V and VI). The laser is a non-ablative fractional laser that may help thicken thinning hair.
This study tests a new type of laser treatment for acne scars in people with darker skin tones. It aims to see if the laser is effective and safe for improving the appearance of scars.
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 whether a special laser combined with growth factor injections can help regrow hair in people with common hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). It aims to find a new treatment option that may work better than current methods.
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.
