Background: Laser treatment is a rapid, non-invasive procedure for long-term hair removal. Lasers operate based on the principle of selective photothermolysis and target melanin in the hair follicle. We intend to determine the level of hirsute patient satisfaction with the alexandrite laser hair removal procedure.Methods: In this cross-sectional study 82 hirsute patient...

Genital gender affirming surgery (GAS) involves reconstruction of the genitals to match a patient's identified sex. The use of hair-bearing flaps in this procedure may result in postoperative intra-vaginal and intra-urethral hair growth and associated complications, including lower satisfaction with genital GAS. Despite the significant increase in genital GAS within the past 50 years, there is ...

background: human hair can be used as an inexpensive and accessible adsorbent to remove a variety of pollutants from air. although several studies have been done on removal of formaldehyde from wastewater by human hair, to date no study has investigated using hair to remove formaldehyde from air. therefore, the aim of this study was to remove formaldehyde from synthetic contaminated air by a re...

BACKGROUND Thin hairs are critical to achieve natural result in female hairline correction surgery. However, there are few studies on the usefulness of hair thinning by intense pulsed light (IPL) after hairline correction surgery in East Asian females. METHODS Hair thinning using IPL was performed in 54 women who had complained about thick hairs along the frontal hairline after hairline corre...

The High Power Pulsed Light™ [HPPL™] and Incoherent Fast Light™ technologies [IFL™, Novavision Group S.p.A., 20826 Misinto (MB), Italy] are recent innovations in the field of unwanted hair removal with intense pulsed light devices. IFL™ is a further improvement over the already advanced characteristics of the HPPL™ technology. A selection of photoepilation case histories with the HPPL™ and IFL™...

M any studies have investigated hair removal or growth prevention treatments, but they often measure hair density using noninvasive methods that are subjective and qualitative. Although photographic and digital hair-counting methods have been used, their reliability and validity remain unknown. We describe a simple, noninvasive method of hair counting used in a hair growth prevention treatment ...

BACKGROUND The uniform delivery of laser energy is particularly important for safe and effective laser hair removal (LHR) treatment. Although it is necessary to quantitatively assess the spatial distribution of the delivered laser, laser spots are difficult to trace owing to a lack of visual cues. This study proposes a novel preclinic tool to evaluate operator proficiency in LHR treatment and a...
