The treatment with the use of diode lasers for all subjects with different ethnicity and thus the recognized scale according to Fitzpatrick is effective and safe. The occurring side effects are transient and do not impact the effect of the whole therapy.

805 nm diode laser is effective and efficient at hair removal in mixed-race patients. It is a safe treatment in terms of skin reaction as only short-term side effects were observed in the treated area and no adverse effects were noted.

Either a long-pulsed alexandrite or a long-pulsed diode laser system can be safely used to effect long-term laser hair removal..

A long-pulsed diode laser with a large spot size and vacuum-assisted suction is safe and effective for long-term hair removal. This is the largest prospective study to evaluate long-term hair removal and the first to quantify decreases in hair thickness and darkness with treatment.

This 800 nm diode laser with a chilled sapphire tip and variable pulse duration is safe and effective for long-term hair reduction in individuals with skin types II and III.

The combination of the high-power 4,800 W, 810 nm, 20x15 mm diode laser applicator with the air-cooling accessory has accomplished the best balance between rapidity, efficacy, and subject comfort and safety in hair removal treatments. It has been possible to perform treatments on skin types II to V (Fitzpatrick scale) with good results for hair reduction in both static and dynamic operation modes.

All subjects tolerated the treatments well, with only local, transient side effects seen.

The evidence from controlled clinical trials favours the use of lasers and light sources for removal of unwanted hair.

Both long-pulsed alexandrite and long-pulsed diode laser systems are effective in the treatment of unwanted hair, and they are more efficacious than Nd:YAG laser.

Treatment with either the alexandrite or the linear-scanning diode laser results in significant, comparable, persistent (at least 18 months) axillary hair reduction among individuals with skin types I-IV.
