Hirsutism is a common disorder affecting between 5 and 15% of the population. One of the most devastating consequences of hirsutism is the presence of unwanted facial hair. Treatment of hirsutism involves a two-pronged approach: treating the underlying cause and reduction of visible hair. Laser hair removal is one of the most effective options for reducing visible hair, however, it may not be wholly effective in all patients and combination therapy may need to be considered. Pharmacological therapy is often used in combination with mechanical hair removal due to the time needed for the drug treatment to demonstrate visible results. Clinical data investigating the use of laser treatment in combination with other treatments has focused on laser with topical eflornithine. The expert working group reviews existing data and provides guidance on the use of eflornithine in combination with laser for resistant hirsutism.
多毛症是一种常见的疾病，影响人群的 5%到 15%。多毛症最具破坏性的后果之一是出现不想要的面部毛发。多毛症的治疗包括双管齐下的方法：治疗潜在的病因和减少可见的毛发。激光脱毛是减少可见毛发最有效的方法之一，然而，它可能在所有患者中都不完全有效，可能需要考虑联合治疗。由于药物治疗需要时间才能显示出可见的效果，因此常将药物治疗与机械性脱毛联合使用。研究激光治疗与其他治疗方法联合应用的临床数据主要集中在激光联合局部使用依氟鸟氨酸上。专家工作组审查了现有数据，并就依氟鸟氨酸联合激光治疗抵抗性多毛症的应用提供了指导。
