12 / 12 resultsresearch Ruby Laser-Assisted Hair Removal: Long-Term Results After Repeated Treatments
This study found that repeated treatments with the long-pulsed ruby laser result in a small but statistically significant reduction in unwanted hair, with high patient satisfaction despite modest efficacy.
research Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal Is Safe For Fitzpatrick Skin Types IV-VI
This study concluded that the long-pulsed alexandrite laser is safe for hair removal in patients with Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI, with complications occurring in only 2% of cases.
research Ruby Laser-Assisted Hair Removal: An Ultrastructural Evaluation of Cutaneous Damage
research The Effect of Ruby Laser Light on Cellular Proliferation of Epidermal Cells
This study found that ruby laser hair removal causes microscopic epidermal damage but does not lead to cellular hyperproliferation, unlike ultraviolet-irradiated cell damage.
research Safety and Long-Term Efficacy of Long-Pulsed Alexandrite Infrared Laser for Hair Removal
This study found that the long-pulsed alexandrite laser effectively reduced hair growth with varying efficacy depending on the pulse duration, anatomic location, and number of treatments, without causing permanent adverse effects in skin types I–III.
research The Removal of Unwanted Hair Using a Ruby Laser
This study found that using a ruby laser for hair removal resulted in a significant average reduction of 56.4% in hair density among participants dissatisfied with other methods.
research Hair Removal Using a Pulsed-Intense Light Source
This study found that the Epilight multiple wavelength pulsed-intense light source was effective for long-lasting hair removal, particularly in individuals with dark hair and light skin.
research Hair Removal Using the Long-Pulsed Ruby Laser
This study found that the long-pulsed ruby laser effectively delays hair growth and has the potential for permanent hair removal with minimal pain and side effects, offering an advantage over traditional hair removal methods.
research Hair Growth Cycle Affects Hair Follicle Destruction by Ruby Laser Pulses
This study found that anagen-phase hair follicles in mice are particularly sensitive to damage by ruby laser pulses, resulting in alopecia without scarring, suggesting enhanced laser hair removal strategies.
research Long-Term Epilation Using the EpiLight Broad Band, Intense Pulsed Light Hair Removal System
This study found that the EpiLight Hair Removal System achieved approximately 60% hair removal after 12 weeks following a single treatment, indicating effectiveness and safety for long-term hair reduction.
research Electrolysis: Observations from 13 Years and 140,000 Hours of Experience
This report concludes that the blend method is the most effective electrolysis technique for permanent hair removal, requiring proper technique and preparation such as shaving before treatment to increase efficacy.
research Electrolysis and Thermolysis for Permanent Hair Removal
This review discusses the historical, legal, and clinical aspects of electrolysis and thermolysis, highlighting potential risks due to the lack of standardized training for electrologists in the United States, but reports no new clinical results.
