Hair removal using an Nd:YAG laser system.

Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal: Treatment Session and Total Energy Effects on Hair Reduction

Systematic review (Meta-analysis) of clinical trials on hair removal Lasers

Background: The theory of selective photo-thermolysis led to the development of a variety of different laser systems which range from the shorter spectrum of 694nm ruby laser to the middle with the 755nm alexandrite and 810nm diode lasers to the long end with the 1064nm (Nd:YAG) laser. Objective: A systematic review on the clinical trials with use of various laser sources for hair removal...

Optimizing treatment parameters for hair removal using a topical carbon-based solution and 1064-nm Q-switched neodymium:YAG laser energy.

OBJECTIVE To determine the most effective treatment parameters for laser-assisted hair removal using a Q-switched neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser. DESIGN Prospective study to determine the effectiveness of Q-switched ND:YAG laser-assisted hair removal under varying pretreatment protocols. Hair growth was assessed after laser treatment, and the results were compared with those...

Efficacy of Diode Laser in unwanted hair removal

Background: Numerous lasers are currently available for hair removal. Objective: To study the efficacy of a pulsed diode laser for removing unwanted hair. Patients and Methods: In this quasi-experimental clinical trial, 39 patients with unwanted hairs on chin referred to Novin-Didegan Laser Center in Tehran were treated with a diode laser system (Palomar, 810nm). Fluences ranging from 40 to 64 ...

Efficacy and safety of a 0.65 millisecond pulsed portable ND:YAG laser for hair removal.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Based upon the thermal relaxation time of the hair follicle (10-50 ms), most lasers and light devices use relatively long pulse widths for hair removal. This study was conducted to evaluate a shorter pulsed, 0.65 ms Nd:YAG laser for hair removal. METHODS One half of each axilla of six female participants was treated and the other half was monitored as a control. The t...
