Laser Hair Removal Procedure


Unwanted hair in various body parts may impair ones quality of life. Men and women often feel embraced and uncomfortable having extra hair. It also affects self-confidence and personal relationships. Laser hair removal is relatively a new technique allowing effective, gentle and rapid hair removal. Each person has about 5 million hair follicles, they have different distribution, texture and color, all this factors should be taken under consideration when deciding to use laser hair removal technique. The ideal candidates for this procedure are people with light skin and dark hair. For those people fewer treatments are required to get better results. Dark and coarse hair absorbs energy most effectively; red or blond hair is very difficult to remove. Tanned people with light hair and tanned people with dark hair cannot be treated with usual laser they need a specialized laser technique. People with very dark pigmented skin also cannot be treated using a laser this because they absorb too much energy.

Contraindications for laser hair removal include people with underlying endocrine disorder, people with chronic or active herpes need antiviral treatment before the removal, patients with a history of hyperthrophic scarring, patients taking photosensitizing drugs. Patients with tattoos in the selected areas for hair removal should be informed that laser might change the appearance of the tattoos.

The idea behind hair removal is to destroy hair follicle and thus to prevent future hair growth. Laser is a wave of light energy targeted at specific sites. The wavelength varies; this allows targeting the wave energy specifically to hair follicles sparing the surrounding tissue. This method is called selective photodermolysis. All areas of the body with unwanted hair except around the eyes may be treated. Usually several treatment required to achieve maximal results, this is due to the fact that hair growth in a cyclic matter and laser energy affects only the growing hair. A minimum of 5 treatments usually required each of them 1-3 month apart. Complications of this procedure include skin blistering, skin changes hyper or hypopigmentation, scarring and thrombophlebitis. People with dark skin are more prone to develop the above side effects.

Immediately after the procedure ice packs are given to reduce swelling. Corticosteroid cream may also be applied. Minor skin damage can be treated with topical antibiotics cream. The response to treatment is highly individual; therefore it is difficult to predict the outcome for each patient

  • On January 23rd, Public Citizen, a consumer group, filed a petition with the U.S. Food and Drug and Administration (FDA) requesting labeling changes for botulinum toxins marketed in the United States. Decades of use and recorded studies in peer-reviewed journals have documented the safety of BOTOX(R).
  • A report on 5 years treatment with infliximab in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has been published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. These patients had initially been treated with infliximab in a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (n=69) and at week 12, patients initially assigned to placebo switched to infliximab. Clinical efficacy was maintained in several open-label extension phases of this study in which patients were treated continuously with infliximab infusions of 5 mg/kg every 6 weeks for up to 3 years (FU1). After a short phase of discontinuation and restart of infliximab therapy because of clinical relapse, patients received continuous treatment. The primary outcome of this extension was remission according to the ASsessment in Ankylosing Spondylitis (ASAS) criteria at the end of year 5 of the study (FU2). Of the 43 patients who completed year 3, 42 agreed to continue, 38 of which (90.5%) finished year 5 (55% of 69 initially). The following findings were reported: • Partial clinical remission was achieved in 13 of 38 patients (34.2%) at FU1 and FU2. • At FU2, the mean Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) was 2.5 (baseline: 6.4, FU1:2.5). • BASDAI values < 4 were seen in 79% of patients at both, FU1 and FU2. • ASAS 20% and 40% responses were seen in 32 (84%) and 24 (63%) patients at FU2, respectively. • During the fourth and fifth year of the study, 36 of 38 patients (94.7%) reported at least one adverse event; the most frequently reported events were common cold (41%), bronchitis (11%) and increase of liver enzymes (6.5%). • Six of the 43 patients (14%) at FU1 reported serious adverse events (SAE) during years 4 and 5 of the study: 1 patient withdrew because of recurrent vaginal infections and the other patient due to repeated infections of the upper respiratory tract. The researchers conclude “this study shows that therapy of AS patients is efficacious and safe over 5 years of almost continuous treatment. There was no indication of loss of response as indicated by the persistent rate of remission and low disease activity. As we had tried to discontinue therapy after 3 years without success we believe that continuous therapy is necessary to achieve a lasting effect in these patients.”
