“…In this study, six months after three sessions, only one third of initial hair was completely lost with the Nd: YAG system. This result may be related to the number of sessions, as emphasized by Lorenz et al (18) in their study that at least four to five sessions are necessary for an acceptable result with the Nd: YAG laser. Besides the fluences in our study as recommended by the manufacturer, neither a test dose nor the maximum tolerated dose is aimed for.…”

“…The treatment of light hair phenotypes such as blond, white, red, and gray hair has proved to be the last frontier in hair removal. Compared with dark hair, light hair is less effectively treated with the ruby, alexandrite, diode, and Nd:YAG lasers (17,27,39,61), and patients with light hair are unlikely to experience permanent hair loss (65). Several reports studied the use of combined radiofrequency and IPL devices (66–68).…”

Since 1996, there have been numerous advances in hair laser removal that utilize melanin as a chromophore. All of the devices on the market may be used in patients with light skin (phototypes I-III) and yield hair reduction near 75%. The ruby (694 nm) laser, alexandrite (755 nm) laser, and diode (810 nm) laser, as well as intense pulsed light are commonly used devices for hair laser removal. The long-pulsed Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser represents the safest device for hair removal in dark-skinned patients because of its long wavelength, although the diode laser, alexandrite laser, and intense pulse light may be used. For treatment of light hair, combination radiofrequency and optical devices as well as photodynamic therapy are under investigation.

Introduction: Hirsutism is a condition of unwanted malepattern hair growth in women. Perception of hirsutism is subjective and it is a common condition affecting 5-10% of unselected women. Objectives: To find out the efficacy and safety of long-pulsed Nd-YAG laser in the treatment of hirsutism. Materials and Methods: Fifty females of age between 18- 50 years with dark terminal facial hair and normal hormonal profile were treated with long-pulsed Nd-YAG laser (1064nm, 10mm spot size, pulse duration of 25-30 minutes and fluence of 25-40J/cm2). Six consecutive sessions of laser treatment were delivered to all the patients at 4 to 6 weeks’ interval. Photographic evaluations and percentage of hair reduction were done before each session and final assessment noted at the end ofninemonths. Results: All the patients completed the study. Good hair reduction (50-75%) was seen in 52% of patients after the first treatment session. After six consecutive treatment sessions at the end of nine-month excellent hair reduction (>75%) was noted in 86% of patients and good hair reduction (50-75%) seen in 12% patients. Side effects in our study were post-operative erythema in 40% and perifollicular oedema in 33.33%. Conclusion: The study supportslong-pulsed Nd-YAG laser with multiple six sessionsis safe and effective in the treatment of hirsutism.
