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...

BACKGROUND We describe the use of tumescent anesthesia before laser hair removal in the axilla to improve patient comfort during treatment. Our modified tumescent technique provides more extensive anesthesia than standard intradermal injections of local anesthetic agents and is less painful to administer. Compared with topical anesthetic creams, tumescent anesthesia has a quicker onset and deli...

INTRODUCTION Laser hair removal at lower fluences, delivered under certain conditions, may retain the efficacy of high-fluence lasers while improving tolerability. We performed a pilot study comparing the efficacy, safety and tolerability of laser hair removal using traditional settings compared to lower fluences, delivered from a larger handpiece and under vacuum. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fourte...

UNLABELLED The incidence of pubic lice infestations is estimated to be between 1.3% and 4.6%, with an average incidence of 2% worldwide. It is also estimated that 70% to 80% of adults now remove pubic hair in part or entirety, using a variety of methods. It is hypothesized that the destruction of this pubic hair habitat may account for the falling incidence of pubic lice and may possibly lead t...

Among many light sources currently available in the market for hair reduction, 1064 nm Nd:YAG has proved to be the safest for dark skin types like Fitzpatrick types IV and V, which are the most common in India. Large laser spots with long laser pulse durations have traditionally been used for hair reduction. This technique, although efficient, is also associated with patient discomfort and pote...

background: one of the pollutant components that can be observed in many industrial wastewaters is formaldehyde. the biological treatment of the wastewater contaminated by formaldehyde is very difficult due to its antibacterial property. however the removal of formaldehyde using adsorption process is feasible but it may be expensive. the main purpose of this study is to examine the adsorption o...

Eflornithine 11.5% cream is an effective treatment for unwanted facial hair (UFH) in women with the effect on facial hair growth starting to be seen from 1 month after treatment initiation. TrichoScan is a validated method of assessing hair length, thickness, density, and growth rate using contact skin microscopy. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of eflornithine cream in women with UFH,...

Pilonidal disease is a chronic, acquired inflammatory process of the skin due to entrapped hair at the natal cleft. Reported recurrence rates are as high as 30%, and recurrence has been attributed to persistent hair near the surgical site. Although conservative measures, such as meticulous hair control and improved perineal hygiene, have been shown to be effective, these techniques typically re...

Encapsulation of chemicals in liposomes and microneedling are currently used techniques to enhance the penetration of several substances through skin and hair. In this study, we apply a liposomal melanin-fluorescein compound to an ex vivo model of human skin, using a new electrical microneedling device (Nanopore turbo roller). The product was applied by hand massage (A) or with the assistance o...
