Article Synopsis
- Hirsutism affects 5%-15% of females and laser treatment is the most effective method for long-term hair removal, but not everyone qualifies for it, creating issues in the healthcare system.
- This study compares the eligibility assessment capabilities of healthcare professionals to convolutional neural network (CNN) models for laser hair removal.
- The CNN model achieved a moderate accuracy of 0.52, while dermatologists reported a slightly lower accuracy of 0.48, suggesting that an AI-based tool could improve the assessment process and healthcare access, but further clinical studies are needed to ensure effectiveness.
Objectives: The incidence of actinic keratosis (AK) is increasing, and several treatment options are available. The aim of this study was to describe clinical characteristics and treatment patterns in patients with AK treated by Danish dermatologists.
Methods: A multicenter, non-interventional, cross-sectional study was conducted.
Pain following controlled cutaneous insertion of needles with different diameters.
Somatosens Mot Res

Background And Aim: Needle injections are used daily by millions of people around the world for the administration of various drugs (e.g., insulin), venepuncture, and some neurophysiological procedures.

Methods: Twenty-seven female subjects with perioral rhytides (class I-III) were randomly treated with either CO(2) laser or IPL (three monthly treatments). Efficacy was evaluated by patient self-assessments and blinded photographs up to 12 months postoperatively.
Lasers and light sources are increasingly used in dermatology. Due to the limited financial resources of the public health care system, the Danish Dermatological Society has developed recommendations for distinguishing medical laser treatments to be provided free of charge from cosmetic self-payment treatments. Several considerations underlie the recommendations: present legislation; the diagnosis, etiology, severity, and anatomical location of the disease; and the availability of evidence-based treatments.
