However, the major refractory hair phenotype targeted by The theory behind this technology is to deliver a relatively low these technologies has been red, blond and white hair due to level of optical energy that is safe for all skin types whilecompensation for the lack of high laser light intensity isachieved by utilizing an additive energy that is not optical and Correspondence: Neil S Sadick, MD, 772 Park Avenue, New York, does not require melanin as a target chromophore, but is NY 10021, USA.

Thirty-six adult women with white and blond facial hair A baseline hair count was obtained manually by two (aged 38–83 years; mean age 58 years) and skin phenotypes independent observers marking terminal hairs under 66 I–V were included in the study (Table 1). Forty-one study magnification with an apochromatic optical loupe (Nikon) sites were selected; 36 sites were on the chin and five sites within a well-defined 3 cm2 region. The following reference were on the upper lip or moustache area. Twenty-one sites landmarks were utilized: lip (mid-philtrum), chin (mid- had blond hair while 20 exhibited white hair.7 Patients mandibular notch/mid-lower lip vermillion border) in were screened for endocrine disorders, recent Accutane1 order to achieve uniformity of sequential hair counts.

No topical anesthetic agent was applied to treated recorded at each follow-up visit. A patient satisfaction scale was instituted at the last follow-up visit.

It is generally acceptedthat white hair is unresponsive to light systems operating in Mean hair removal efficiency in the IPL/RF study population (four The thermal damage time (TDT) varies with the diameter of the hair shaft and follicle, and the temperatureof the hair shaft or matrix.1 For medium to coarse hairs 10% mean hair reduction). These two patients were older (50–125 microns) the TDT is 170–1000 ms.1,2 The use of super-elongated pulses should theoretically be a more A total of 67% of patients graded their improvement as efficient way to produce pan-trichodestruction.25 This good or excellent, with the majority noting good or no mechanism of injury may be advantageous for treating Side effect profiles noted in this study were minimal.

as lighter and darker skin types responded similarly to With any pulse width, optical energy targets melanin and heating of the hair follicle occurs from the inside and proceeds outwards. In contrast, RF energy heats the hairfollicle from the outside in and requires no chromophore.
For gray or white hair where there is little or no melanin, the optical component of the electromagnetic pulse plays aminor role. It is hypothesized that there is non-specific Hair color is genetically determined by the presence of the preheating of the follicle acting as a macroscopic structure black-brown pigment melanin and the yellow-red pigment absorbing light. The preheating reduces the impedance and pheomelanin. There is no simple arithmetic relationship facilitates the concentration of RF current within the outer between eumelanin/pheomelanin ratio and hair color, but layers of the follicle. This progression of outward to inward the highest levels of eumelanin occurs in black hair and the heat transfer is likely responsible for the injury ensuing to the highest levels of pheomelanin are appreciated with red hair.
germinative area of the hair follicle which results in the hair Eumelanin absorbs red or infrared light more than removal efficiency that is clinically noted in this setting. This pheomelanin and it is the black-brown pigment granules mechanism of injury should also theoretically provide in the matrix cells and hair shaft that provide the primary effective epilation when the target chromophore is reduced, target chromophores. Thus, it is not surprising that as with blond or red hair as shown in the present study.

Other techniques used to target white hair include response noted in two elderly patients with coarse white photodynamic therapy utilizing a photosensitizer such as 5 hair may be expected in view of the larger surface area of amino-levulinic acid, which also leads to non-chromophore heating required for this phenotypic population.

Six-month follow-up studies utilizing the diode laser showed 75–100% hair reductionafter three treatment sessions in 90% of treated patients.

The slightly higherphotoepilatory efficiency of 52% noted for blond hairversus 44% noted for white hair might be expected based upon the potential synergistic effect of combined chromo-phore targeting and non-selective RF heating.
