Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is the commonest cause of hair loss in men and women. It is attributed to genetic and hormonal factors. This paper aims to discuss three non-surgical options to assess their use and effectiveness in treating AGA. This will include the following treatments: Minoxidil, Finasteride and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Key words: Androgenic alopecia, Minoxidil, Finasteride, low-level laser therapy (LLLT)

Combined Use

Purpose. To present the results of the treatment of disseminated form of granuloma annulare with remote long-wave ultraviolet therapy and low level laser therapy. Material and methods. Two female patients at the age of 50 and 53 years with complaints of generalised eruptions on the skin of the trunk, upper and lower limbs and a histologically confirmed diagnosis were treated using a combination of remote long-wave ultraviolet therapy and low level laser therapy of infrared spectrum. 16 sessions of remote long-wave ultraviolet therapy and 10 sessions of low level laser therapy were conducted directly on the lesions. Considering the multidirectionality of the mechanisms of action of phototherapy and laser therapy, the procedures were carried out on different days or with many hours long intervals. Results. Combined use of the remote long-wave ultraviolet therapy and laser therapy led to a significant improvement by the 21st day of the treatment. No side effects were noticed during the treatment, tolerance of the sessions was good. Conclusion. Combined use of the remote long-wave ultraviolet therapy and low level laser therapy of infrared spectrum is effective in treatment of disseminated form of granuloma annulare.

Background: In our practice, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections effectively reduce pain in most, but not all, arthritic patients. When PRP treatment fails, joint replacement surgery is often the only good alternative. Surface Low-Level-Laser-Therapy (LLLT) has not been helpful for osteoarthrosis in our experience. We hypothesized that intra-articular laser (IAL) treatment combined with PRP would improve results in patients with prior ineffective PRP treatment. Methods: We offered Intra-articular Low-Level-Laser-Therapy (IAL) treatment simultaneously with repeat PRP injection to patients who had received no benefit from PRP alone. They were the treatment and also historical control group since all had failed PRP treatment alone. Thirty joints were treated: 22 knees, 4 hips, 2 shoulder glenohumeral joints and 2 first carpo-metacarpal (1st CMC). Results: No adverse events were seen at any time after treatment in any patient. Twenty-eight joints were available for re-evaluation: ≥ 40% improvement was seen in 46% (6 months), 32% (12 months) and 32% (24 months) post-treatment. Mean SANE scores improved significantly at 1 and 2 years. Thirteen patients failed treatment and had joint replacement. Conclusions: PRP with IAL allowed avoidance of surgery and good pain control at least two years post-treatment in nearly half of patients who had failed PRP treatment alone.
