BACKGROUND Excessive hair on the face is a significant cause for distress amongst women. Permanent hair reduction methods including lasers and pulsed light devices are increasingly being used. AIMS The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of near infrared pulsed light source for permanent hair reduction in women seeking treatment for excessive hair growth on the upper lip ...

BACKGROUND Combination laser treatments can potentially increase the effectiveness of treatment without the additional downtime associated with another procedure. OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness and safety of combining non-ablative fractional treatments with optimized intense pulsed light. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ten subjects (Group A) received full face treatments with a non-ablative f...

The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) may be used for the treatment of acne, photoepilation, photorejuvenation and more recently their use has been advocated for treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye. For the treatment of dysfunction of the meibomian gland, Intense Pulsed Light was used with the same acne treatment settings in the scenario Fitzpatrick type 1, fluent between 8 and 12 J/c...

The anisotropic two-dimensional (2D) electron diffraction pattern of jet-cooled CS2 in an intense nanosecond Nd:YAG laser field (1064 nm, -0.64 TW/cm, 10 ns) was measured by a short-pulsed 25 keV electron beam packet (~7 ns) generated by irradiating a tantalum photocathode with the 4th harmonics of another nanosecond pulsed YAG laser light. It was confirmed from the numerical simulation of the ...
