selective photothermolysis(English)
- a noninvasive laser treatment modality that relies on the conversion of radiant energy to heat by (oxy)hemoglobin and the ensuing coagulation of blood and necrosis of (peri)vascular tissue resulting from thermal diffusion. By irradiating skin at a well-absorbed wavelength and sufficient irradiance (the amount of photon energy incident on a unit area of tissue per unit time, expressed in W/cm2), supracritical temperatures (>70 °C) can be generated in the vessel lumen and confined spatially if the pulse duration is kept within the thermal relaxation time of the target blood vessel or, in case of large-diameter vasculature, the volume of blood in which the radiant energy is absorbed. Normal-sized capillaries (4–6-µm inner diameter) and post-capillary venules (8–26-µm inner diameter), which have relatively short thermal relaxation times and a smaller volume-to-surface ratio (thermal mass), therefore remain spared during longer pulse durations, as heat diffusion from these vessels precludes the generation of denaturing temperatures

substance P(English)
- a stress-associated neuropeptide expressed in the skin, upregulates histocompatibility antigen (HLA) class I and ß2-microglobulin expression in hair follicle epithelium. These data suggest that in alopecia areata (AA) and scarring alopecia stress-associated collapse in hair follicle immune privilege renders affected hair follicles susceptible to immunological attack
