Abstract

Laser hair reduction has become one of the most sought-after procedures for unwanted hair removal. This has given rise for a necessity to improve efficacy, safety and tolerance of the procedure and make it suitable for individuals of all skin types. Newer technologies in laser hair reduction have emerged consisting of combined simultaneous emission of wavelengths to capitalize upon the advantages of each individual wavelength when fired simultaneously. This review sheds light on the mechanism of hair reduction, novel laser systems available and their respective efficacies and safety profile.
