Paradoxical Hypertrichosis After Laser Therapy: A Review

Abstract: Paradoxical hypertrichosis is a rare side effect of laser hair removal; the pathogenesis of this event remains widely unknown. We recommend further large-scale studies to investigate this effect. The authors have indicated no significant interest with commercial supporters.

“…15 Other lasers that have been studied include erbium glass laser, Nd: YAG laser, fractional CO2 laser, and LLLT, which have used based on the findings of paradoxical hypertrichosis and hair growth upon wound healing. 9,12 In addition, some lasers have been used in order to increase the skin permeability of drugs used in alopecia. 31,32 Because the sample size of the studies was small, further randomized clinical trials on larger number of patients are needed.…”

“…8 Since then, additional cases of paradoxical hypertrichosis have been reported, which was found to occur possibly in low fluences and all types of lasers. 9 Studies have tried to investigate the underlying mechanisms, in which low fluence of heat causing sub-therapeutic injury was thought to induce follicular stem cell proliferation and differentiation by increasing the level of heat shock proteins and other factors, which may play a role in regulation of cell growth and differentiation. 10,11 The basis for the use of laser had also been supported by the finding of hair growth stimulation in the process of wound healing.…”

“…İnsidansı net olmamakla birlikte %0,6-10 gibi değişen oranlarda bildirilmiştir. Bu yan etki daha çok koyu tenli (deri tipi 3 ve üzeri) kadın hastalarda ve yüz lokalizasyonunda gözlemlenmektedir 7 . Özellikle alexandrite lazer ile yüz epilasyonundan sonra paradoksal hipertrikoz sık görüldüğü için bu lokalizasyonda mümkünse alexandrite lazer kullanılmamalıdır.…”

“…Hastanın tıbbi öyküsü de paradoksal hipertrikozis gelişimine zemin hazırlayabilmektedir. Tanı almamış hormonal bozukluk (polikistik over sendromu, ovaryen hiperandrojenizm) ve hastanın kullandığı hormon preparatları veya diğer ilaçlar (kortikosteroidler, finasterid) bu faktörlerden bazılarıdır 7,8 . Paradoksal hipertrikozisin tedavisinde iki amaç vardır: Mevcut kılların epilasyonu ve folikül indüksiyonunun önlenmesi.…”
