An In Vivo Study Comparing the Efficacy and Complications of Diode Laser and Long-Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser in Hair Removal in Chinese Patients

Abstract

Diode 800 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm lasers are safe in laser-assisted hair removal in Chinese patients, and besides immediate pain, there was no other significant adverse effect. Most patients experienced regrowth 36 weeks after a single treatment. Further study is necessary to determine the long-term clinical efficacy and complications of laser-assisted hair removal with these systems in dark-skinned patients.
