Hair Removal

    January 2011 in “ Current problems in dermatology ”

    TLDR Lasers and IPL are the most efficient for short-term hair removal, especially for people with dark hair and light skin, but require multiple sessions for longer-lasting effects.
    In the past two decades, the use of lasers in medicine, particularly in cosmetic dermatology, saw significant growth, with many clinical conditions being treated exclusively by lasers. The book "Hair Removal" offered a structured and comprehensive overview of the physical principles behind laser medicine and surgery, along with clear discussions on various clinical indications and treatments. The authors, experts in their field, provided concise and topical chapters, keeping the discussion on different lasers generic to ensure the book's longevity.
