High-Intensity Flashlamp Photoepilation

IPL technology: A review

“…McCoy et al state that laser-induced damage to the isthmus and upper stem may interfere with the interaction between dermal and epidermal germinative cells, thus inhibiting or altering the normal hair cycle. By contrast, Schröter et al and Sadick et al postulate that damage to the hair follicle and hair shaft in the anagen phase cause a long-term interruption in the hair growth cycle [48][49][50]. A number of workgroups have demonstrated good results using IPL systems [12,[51][52][53][54][55][56].…”

The Effect of Different Spot Sizes on the Efficacy of Hair Removal Using a Long-Pulsed Diode Laser

“…In the last few years the technology of laser‐assisted hair removal has advanced rapidly. Effective results have been achieved with ruby laser, 1 alexandrite laser, 2 diode laser, 3 Nd:YAG laser, 4 and flashlamp systems 5 …”

Hair Reduction Using Intense Pulsed Light Source

“…As seen, the amount of energy is important in having an impact on hair removal. It was found in a study carried out by Sadick et al 40 that hair removal by the IPLS is a direct result of the amount of energy delivered to the follicle. The possibility that treatment with the IPLS interfered with the hair growth cycle in any way was excluded.…”
