This review reported that home-use laser and intense pulsed light devices effectively reduce hair with significant efficacy and safety, showing 80% hair reduction one year post-treatment, although results can vary for darker skin types and compared to professional devices.

This review discusses the mechanisms of laser and IPL hair removal, particularly for darker skin types, and reports no new findings, highlighting potential adverse effects like pigmentation changes or scarring with improper use.

This article reviews light-based hair removal devices for home use, highlighting safety issues and the need for consistent international regulations and guidelines for their manufacture and marketing.

In this study, the hot-wire hair removal device (no!no!) was found to be no more effective than shaving in reducing hair density, regrowth rate, or altering hair characteristics.

This study found that human hair follicles demonstrated a dose-dependent response to light in an ex vivo photoepilation model, which could predict the clinical efficacy and permanency of light-based hair removal devices.

This article discusses the factors involved in optimizing laser hair removal, emphasizing patient selection, laser safety, and understanding laser–tissue interactions, but presents no new clinical findings.

This case series reports that home use of intense pulsed light devices may effectively reduce hair burden and prevent recurrence of pilonidal disease in patients unable to regularly attend clinic sessions.

This review discusses the factors affecting laser hair removal results and adverse events, emphasizing the need for more research to determine optimal treatment parameters; it reports no new clinical findings.

This review reports that current in-office laser hair removal devices, particularly the Nd:YAG system for pigmented skin, effectively provide long-term hair removal, though more research on home-use devices is needed.

This review discusses the use of laser and intense light sources for hair removal and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the potential for aesthetic medicine to include these technologies.

This review suggests that radiofrequency devices may be effective for both hair removal and growth, depending on the RF modality, but further research is needed to clarify their efficacy and mechanisms.

This study observed that a low energy pulsed-light device combined with galvanic energy was effective and safe for reducing unwanted hair in individuals with dark skin types V and VI.

This study found that using a commercially available IPL home-use device led to significant hair reduction and demonstrated long-term efficacy in maintaining hair reduction one year after treatment.

This study found that laser hair removal effectively reduces disease severity in hidradenitis suppurativa with minimal side effects, likely due to the destruction of hair follicle units.

This study found that laser hair removal is optimal for light to moderate skin tones using 10-15 J/cm² at 755 nm and for dark skin with 4.5-10 J/cm² at 755-1064 nm.

This review highlights advancements in hair laser removal technologies, which achieve approximately 75% hair reduction in light-skinned individuals, noting the long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser as safest for dark-skinned patients, but reports no new results.

This review suggests that paradoxical hair growth after light-based treatments is unlikely due to the devices themselves; instead, it may be linked to other factors such as inflammation in individuals with certain conditions.

This study concluded that while home-based intense pulsed light, laser diodes, radiofrequency, and light-emitting diode devices are recommended for certain skin conditions, ultraviolet B phototherapy for psoriasis showed mixed evidence compared to clinic treatments.

This review discusses sex-specific cosmetic treatment recommendations using lasers and energy-based devices for male patients and reports no new clinical findings, highlighting the need for tailored approaches for common male concerns.

This review discusses the modest efficacy of home-use laser and light devices for conditions like hair removal and acne, noting limited evidence and a lack of robust trials.

In this study, a square pulse, low-fluence IPL device used at home significantly reduced terminal hair count by 87% six months post-treatment, with evidence of hair miniaturization similar to professional laser treatments.

In this study, a new IPL device effectively reduced hair regrowth with high patient satisfaction, particularly in individuals with coarse dark hair and darker skin, despite repeated sessions needed for lighter hair and skin.

This study reviewed 44 clinical trials and found that home-based laser devices are effective for short-term hair removal and skin rejuvenation, with common side effects including erythema and edema; additional trials are needed to confirm safety and efficacy.

This article reviews home-use laser and intense pulsed light systems for hair removal and growth, noting limited efficacy and safety data and emphasizing the need for long-term studies.

This study highlights promising advancements in non-invasive techniques for treating hair-related conditions, emphasizing the importance of customizing treatments based on individual needs.

This study found that using a clipping device for hair removal leads to less skin barrier disruption and reduced bacterial colonization compared to a disposable razor, potentially improving postoperative wound management.

This review examines the devices, mechanisms, risks, side effects, and regulatory differences in laser hair removal, particularly highlighting the lack of regulation in South Africa and its implications for patient safety.

Follow these guidelines to safely and effectively use energy-based devices in aesthetic treatments.

This article discusses the scientific and safety aspects of optical hair removal devices but reports no new clinical results; it notes encouraging initial reports of long-term efficacy.
