Human hair growth patterns convey social information about sex,
age, and racial background
Excess Hair

The presence of
excessive hair can be a
source of distress that
can lead to such
psychological problems
as anxiety, depression,
and reduced quality of
life.

Hypertrichosis
Hypertrichosis is
defined as hair growth
that is abnormal for the
age, sex, or race of an
individual at any body
site that is not
androgen dependent
![Page 6: Laser Hair removal. Is it Permanent?](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55a5e9e01a28aba5128b4803/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hirsutism
Hirsutism is defined as the abnormal growth of terminal hair in women in male-pattern (androgen-dependent) sites, such as the face and chest

Temporary Methods of Hair
Removal
Bleaching does not
remove the hair follicle,
but it serves to lighten the
color of the external hair
shaft so that it is less
noticeable
![Page 8: Laser Hair removal. Is it Permanent?](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55a5e9e01a28aba5128b4803/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Temporary Methods of Hair
Removal
Trimming
Trimming of hair is the
treatment of choice for
young children with
either localized or
generalized
hypertrichosis. It is safe
and does not accelerate
hair regrowth

Temporary Methods of Hair
Removal
Shaving is one of the
oldest and most frequently
used methods of hair
depilation. Contrary to
popular belief, shaving
does not affect the width or
rate of regrowth of
individual hairs

Temporary Methods of Hair
Removal
Tweezing or plucking is a
temporary method of
epilation that is used for
small areas of excess hair.
Drawbacks include treatment
discomfort and risk of
folliculitis, pigmentation,
redness, follicular distortion
(which makes subsequent
treatment difficult), and
scarringTweezing

Chemical Depilatory
Agents
• act to separate the hair
from its follicle and the
surrounding skin surface
through reduction of
disulfide bonds
• chemical depilatories are
most appropriate for
weekly hair removal from
small areas.

Temporary methods of hair removal
Six weeks of relatively hair-free skin is typically
achieved

SugaringThe non-Western
technique of sugaring is
another temporary hair
removal method.
Sugaring is similar to
waxing except that a
sticky paste isapplied to
the skin instead of
melted wax or acold
polymer. Sugaring is
often preferred for large
surface areas, such as
the back or legs

Electrolysis and
Thermolysis
Permanent Methods of Hair Removal
Electrolysis, thermolysis, and a
combination of both are three
popular procedures used for
epilation or permanent hair
removal
All three methods involve the
insertion of a small needle or
probe into the hair follicle
through which an electric
current is delivered, resulting in
the production of a microscar
that s is barely perceptible at the
skin surface
![Page 20: Laser Hair removal. Is it Permanent?](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55a5e9e01a28aba5128b4803/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Electrolysis is more effective
on anagen hairs; therefore,
shaving within a few days
before electrolysis greatly
increases its efficacy because
it ensures that only growing
anagen hairs are epilated
Although the combination
treatment is slower, it is
significantly more effective
than the individual use of
each method and is less
painful .

Recently, a home used device
(no, no hair ) uses the principles
of thermal transference to heat
the hair shaft through a
thermodynamic wire. .

The Recipe of Permanent Hair Removal
1.Appropriate wavelength

3.Pulse durations 10ms-400ms
4.Spot sizes that maximize laser parameters
5. Sufficient surface cooling

The target chromophore in laser-assisted hair removal is the
melanin rich hair shaft and bulb.
Melanin
![Page 29: Laser Hair removal. Is it Permanent?](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55a5e9e01a28aba5128b4803/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Melanin is Major Chromophore
Hair follicles that are less pigmented (blond) as well as
those pigmented with pheomelanin-containing (red)
instead of eumelanin-containing (dark) hair are less
susceptible to photoepilation procedures

Long Pulsed and Superlong Pulsed 810nm Diode

Wavelength: The Longer the Safer
Lasers/ light sources with wavelengths of about 600–
1100 nm are absorbed by melanin

The ability to remove hair without damaging the surrounding
skin is based on selective photothermolysis.
Pulse Width: The Shorter the Safer
![Page 32: Laser Hair removal. Is it Permanent?](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55a5e9e01a28aba5128b4803/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Plus Width: Shorter for thinner, lighter
Shorter pulses, with equivalent fluence, have
achieved superior LHR, particularly when the
hair shafts are lighter and thinner.
![Page 34: Laser Hair removal. Is it Permanent?](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55a5e9e01a28aba5128b4803/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Pulse Width: Longer for thicker, Darker
However, to achieve permanent hair reduction, the heat
must diffuse through the entire surrounding tissue of the hair
follicle. The durations in the milliseconds are necessary
![Page 35: Laser Hair removal. Is it Permanent?](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55a5e9e01a28aba5128b4803/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
To achieve permanent hair
reduction, the heat must
diffuse to the entire
surrounding tissue of the
hair follicle.
Thermal damage to the hair
follicle and surrounding
stem cells reaches its peak
at a pulse duration of 400
msec.

44% clearance of white hair after four treatments the
18-month follow-up

Combined Hair Removal Therapy
Prof Moawad believe that combining two different technology such as E-light
(effective in treating lighter hair) and long pulsed Nd YAG 1064nm (effective in
treating deeper hair follicle in darker skin) is very promising

Avoid plucking, Waxing, or
Electrolysis 2 weeks before
laser therapy .
Shaving and bleaching are
allowed.

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?
Laser treatments for hair removal are generally well
tolerated except in large or sensitive areas topical
anesthetic cream may be applied

Preparation of Laser Hair
Removal
Skin should be cleaned and all makeup and skin
creams removed

The hair is shaved so that the thermal damage occurs in the
follicle as opposed to on the surface of the skin.

All lasers and IPLs used for hair
removal are potent eye hazards
therefore, protective eyewear
should be given to all persons
It is prudent to treat the “unibrow”
away from the eyes.
Lasers and IPLs should not be
used to remove the lower eyebrow

The Recipe for Hair Cooking
Treatment parameters are individualized
Pulses are delivered in a slightly overlapping mode.
The highest tolerable fluence and the largest spot size are used
Vaporization of the hair shaft, perifollicular edema and erythema are good end points

What Do I Expect Immediately after LHR Light Hair?
The ideal immediate response is vaporization of the hair shaft, is followed a few minutes later by the appearance of perifollicular
edema and erythema.

•Laser-induced perifollicular erythema and edema generally last for minutes to a few hours.

Cooling mechanisms such as a cooling
plate, spray, or gel protect against
thermal damage of darker skin.
Hair epilation with minimal epidermal
damage is achieved by balancing
thermal destruction with cooling.

may also be given a mild

Conclusion
Rather than being a
simple physics
problem of targeting
pigmented structures
and heating them until
they or adjacent
structures are
destroyed, laser hair
removal relies on a
complex set of
biologic events
following laser
treatment.

Conclusion
‘‘only with a better
understanding of
hair biology and the
histologic evidence
of laser induced
changes that we
will begin to truly
understand the
mechanism of laser
induced hair
removal

Conclusion
Studies have found diode, ruby, and alexandrite
lasers as well as the IPL to be of similar efficacy

Conclusion
The overall cosmetic outcome is determined not only by the
absolute number of hairs, but also by the diameter, length
and color of hairs in the treated area.

Today there is no evidence for a complete and persistent hair
removal efficacy after laser and photo-epilation.

Additional studies are needed to assess the appropriate
number and timing of treatment sessions in order to obtain
even longer and perhaps permanent hair removal
