Requests for removal of unwanted body hair are common in dermatologic and surgical practices. Technology continues to improve the achievement of a more permanent reduction through the use of lasers. Despite the increased use of lasers, to date, few guidelines exist in terms of how to approach laser hair removal. Specifically, one must understand the mechanism of hair growth and how lasers work to target the hair follicle. There is significant variation among practitioners in pre-and post-laser recommendations to patients as well as intervals between treatment sessions. We performed a thorough review of the literature in order to determine evidence for the ideal interval between treatment sessions and the ideal number of sessions. We also sought to establish, based on published reports, the recommendations for shaving, plucking, waxing or other hair removal methods prior to laser hair removal and the guidelines for sun exposure before and after laser treatments. Finally, we searched the literature to find out whether there are areas that should not be treated with laser hair removal. The evidence and recommendations in this article aim to help guide practitioners in their approach to laser hair removal.
在皮肤科和外科诊疗中，去除多余体毛的需求很常见。通过使用激光，技术不断进步，能更持久地减少毛发。尽管激光的使用越来越多，但迄今为止，关于如何进行激光脱毛的指南却很少。具体而言，必须了解毛发生长的机制以及激光如何作用于毛囊。在激光治疗前和治疗后向患者提供的建议以及治疗间隔方面，从业者之间存在很大差异。我们对文献进行了全面回顾，以确定治疗间隔的理想时长和理想治疗次数的证据。我们还试图根据已发表的报告，确定激光脱毛前剃须、拔毛、脱毛蜡或其他脱毛方法的建议，以及激光治疗前后日晒的指南。最后，我们查阅文献，以查明是否存在不应用激光脱毛治疗的部位。本文中的证据和建议旨在帮助指导从业者进行激光脱毛。
