The basic principles of laser hair removal are discussed, theoretically the properties of specific laser systems are examined, and patient selection and treatment protocols for the various systems designed to ensure safe and effective treatment are focused on.

A facial hair removal treatment protocol from a clinical laser nurse perspective is presented, highlighting the importance of understanding how lasers work, choosing the appropriate parameters and using a suitable machine for each individual's needs.

A retrospective chart review was conducted to summarize and share the experience of using the Candela GentleMax Pro 755-nm alexandrite laser system in children following auricular reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage.

Safe and effective hair reduction for patients with FST IV–VI is achievable under proper treatment protocols and energy settings, so long as energy settings and wavelengths are appropriate.

While laser hair removal (LHR) is one of the most common cosmetic procedures practiced in the world, according to the FDA, the only current permanent form of hair removal is electrolysis.

This chapter reviews the current treatments available for periorbital photodamage and skin rejuvenation; periocular pigmented lesions, including melanocytic nevi and nevus of Ota; eyeliner tattoo removal; vascular lesions including port-wine stains and infantile hemangiomas; infraorbital dark circles; and hair removal and laser ablation of common benign periacular adnexal tumors.

This study aims to evaluate and define further the histological responses of hair follicles to 3‐msec pulsed ruby laser light, which is suited to photothermolysis of these appendages.

The results suggested that the efficacy of treatment did not depend solely on the amount of laser light penetrating the skin but correlated well with the eumelanin content of hair.

A woman who developed terminal hair growth at the site of a full thickness skin graft is reported and her successful treatment with the normal mode ruby laser is described.

The main limitation of light based technology, either laser or intense pulse light, is that the light must penetrate deep into the tissue and be selectively absorbed by the target, while the surrounding skin should remain untouched.

This is the first report of pili bigminy as a complication of laser-assisted hair removal and can be induced by low fluence therapy with hair removal Alexandrite and Ruby lasers as a complications.

The 3-msec cryogen cooling-equipped alexandrite laser can safely and effectively achieve long-term hair removal in patients with skin types I–V, and the best results are achieved in untanned patients withSkin type I–IV.

The results show that laser treatments can affect structural recovery, follicular pigmentation (hair absorption coefficient), or both, and Laser-induced reduction in hair diameter and/or pigmentation are both long-term responses which confer cosmetic benefits in addition to actual hair loss.
