Description
An account of the resource
BACKGROUND: Laser-assisted hair removal is becoming the treatment of choice for removing unwanted hair. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this work was to determine the long-term efficacy of the long-pulsed infrared (LPIR) laser at shortened treatment intervals for the treatment of bikini hair. METHODS: Eleven patients received five treatments at 3-week intervals to the right groin using the LPIR laser. Laser parameters were held constant for all treatments: 10 mm spot size, 20 J, and 20-msec pulse duration. Results were evaluated 1 year after the last laser treatment. Hair counts were performed. RESULTS: The average patient had a 78% clearance of hair noted at 1 year with no evidence of scarring or pigmentary changes. CONCLUSIONS: A simulated model of cutaneous hair follicles provides evidence that shorter treatment intervals (3 weeks) may be preferable for more complete destruction of the hair follicle bulb and bulge.

Description
An account of the resource
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a long pulse diode laser (Cynosure, Inc.) to target and destroy enlarged sebaceous glands that are preloaded with Indocyanine green (ICG) chromophore. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was designed in three phases. First, preliminary studies were performed to determine the ability of ICG to penetrate into enlarged sebaceous glands. Once penetration of the sebaceous gland was confirmed, the second phase was to determine the necessary parameters for the diode laser to effectively target the ICG loaded glands. This was done using laser-tissue interaction analysis. The final phase was done with patients that had active acne on their back to determine if selective destruction of the sebaceous glands could be achieved and also to assess the safety and efficacy of this novel treatment for acne. RESULTS: Fluorescence microscopy of biopsy samples show evidence of ICG penetration into the sebaceous glands. Histological examination of biopsy samples from the treated areas finds selective necrosis of the sebaceous glands. Preliminary clinical results demonstrate a decrease in acne noted in the treatment area at 3, 6, and 10 months follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: ICG and diode laser treatment is a new approach for the treatment of acne based on experimentally observed selective photothermolysis of the sebaceous glands.
