skin cancer has been the most usual and illustrates 50% of all new cancers detected each year. if they detected at an early stage, treatment can become simple and economically. accurate skin lesion segmentation is important in automated early skin cancer detection and diagnosis systems. the aim of this study is to provide an effective approach to detect the skin lesion border on a purposed imag...

BACKGROUND The efficacy of the long-pulsed diode laser (LPDL) in hair removal is determined with various physical parameters. Recently, LPDLs with a larger spot size are commercially available; however, the independent effect of spot size on hair removal has not been studied. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the LPDL in hair removal depending on the spot size. METHODS A...

In the field of consumer-used cosmetics for hair removal and hair growth reduction, there is a need for improved quantitative methods to enable the evaluation of efficacy and claim support. Optimized study designs and investigated endpoints are lacking to compare the efficacy of standard methods, like shaving or plucking, with new methods and products, such as depilating instruments or hair-gro...

Background: The theory of selective photo-thermolysis led to the development of a variety of different laser systems which range from the shorter spectrum of 694nm ruby laser to the middle with the 755nm alexandrite and 810nm diode lasers to the long end with the 1064nm (Nd:YAG) laser. Objective: A systematic review on the clinical trials with use of various laser sources for hair removal...

OBJECTIVE To assess the permanence of hair removal by normal-mode ruby laser treatment. METHODS Hair removal was measured for 2 years after a single treatment with normal-mode ruby laser pulses (694 nm, 270 microseconds, 6-mm beam diameter). OBSERVATIONS Six test areas on the thighs or backs of 13 volunteers were exposed to normal-mode ruby laser pulses at fluences of 30 to 60 J/cm2 deliver...

BACKGROUND Using the concept of selective photothermolysis, a variety of laser systems have been developed to remove unwanted hair. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relative efficacy, tolerability, and subject satisfaction of three different laser systems used individually and in rotation for axillary hair removal. METHODS Twenty female patients (17 with dark-colored hair, 3 with red or light-colo...

What some may like: These products provide painless hair removal that's pretty quick and can be done at home for a relatively inexpensive price. What some may not like: Depilatory products can have a strong smell or odor. Darkerhaired users may see a bit of a ?shadow? left on the skin after use due to subsurface hair. Depilatory products may also cause skin irritation (tip: carefully read the l...
