Efficacy and Pain Tolerance of Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal at Different Stages of the Menstrual Cycle

The study examined the efficacy and pain tolerance of Alexandrite laser hair removal (LHR) during different menstrual cycle phases in 24 women. It found that hormonal changes did not significantly affect LHR outcomes, with consistent hair reduction rates of about 80% after 3 sessions across all phases. Although some participants reported lower pain tolerance during menstruation, this was not statistically significant. The study concluded that LHR is effective and can be safely performed during any menstrual cycle phase, though larger studies are recommended to confirm these findings.
