Abstract

Background

Emerging technologies are revolutionizing dermatology, especially for diagnosing and treating hair and nail disorders. Latest advancements in technology enhance the ability to visualize cutaneous structures, enabling early and precise detection of dermatological pathologies. This review aims to highlight these novel technological advancements and their therapeutic implications.

Objective

The objective of this review is to discuss the emerging and latest diagnostic and therapeutic technologies in the field of hair and nail disorders, highlighting their potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment outcomes, and overall patient care.

Methods

A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted on emerging diagnostic techniques, including dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy, optical coherence tomography, multispectral imaging, and trichogram. Therapeutic advancements such as low-level laser therapy, platelet-rich plasma therapy, photo dynamic therapy, gene therapy, nanoemulsion topical treatments, biomimetic peptides, stem cell therapy, transdermal drug delivery systems, liposomal delivery systems, and drug tattooing were analyzed. The role of the latest technology in the form of artificial was also explored.

Results

We found that these emerging technologies significantly enhance the visualization of hair and nail structures, allowing for enhanced diagnoses and targeted management. These techniques improve early detection of disorders, while emerging therapies are showing promising results in treating hair and nail and related pathologies. AI-driven technologies further personalize patient care by providing data-driven insights.

Conclusion

The integration of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies in clinical practice is transforming the arena of dermatology, particularly in hair and nail care. These novel technologies provide improved diagnostic precision, effective management options, and tailored patient care, paving the way for a technologically driven, precision-based approach in dermatology.
