Abstract

BACKGROUND : Although numerous lasers are available for laser assisted hair removal, their use in individuals with a dark skin type presents many challenges due to competition from epidermal melanin. OBJECTIVE : Our aim was to evaluate two 800 nm diode lasers (Lightsheer®) with 30 msec and 100 msec pulse durations in the treatment of African American patients with skin types V and VI. Histologic studies, efficacy and side effects were examined in an effort to optimize laser hair removal procedures in this patient population. METHODS : Facial, neck and axillary areas were treated using 800 nm diode lasers at 30 and 100 msec pulse durations with fluences between 15 J/cm 2 and 40 J/cm 2 . RESULTS : Both lasers could be used safely in skin type V and VI African American patients. Longer pulse durations enabled the delivery of higher fluences with minor and acceptable postoperative complication profiles. CONCLUSION : The Lightsheer® diode laser (Coherent Medical, Santa Clara, CA, USA) operating at 30 msec and 100 msec can be safely used in hair removal procedures in African American patients.
800纳米二极管激光脱毛在非裔美国患者:临床和组织学研究
背景:虽然有许多激光可用于激光辅助脱毛,但由于表皮黑色素的竞争,在深色皮肤类型的个体中使用它们存在许多挑战。目的:我们的目的是评估两种800 nm二极管激光器(Lightsheer®),脉冲持续时间分别为30毫秒和100毫秒,用于治疗皮肤类型V和VI的非裔美国患者。为了优化该患者群体的激光脱毛手术,我们检查了组织学研究、疗效和副作用。方法:使用800 nm二极管激光器治疗面部、颈部和腋窝区域,脉冲持续时间为30和100毫秒,影响范围为15 J/ cm2至40 J/ cm2。结果:两种激光均可安全用于皮肤类型V和VI的非裔美国人患者。较长的脉冲持续时间使输送效果更好,术后并发症较少且可接受。结论:Lightsheer®二极管激光器(Coherent Medical, Santa Clara, CA, USA)在30 msec和100 msec的操作下可以安全地用于非裔美国患者的脱毛手术。
