Over the past several years, a number of home-use laser and light skin devices have been introduced for various indications, including photorejuvenation, hair growth, hair removal and acne treatment. Although these devices allow for privacy and a significant cost advantage, they are typically underpowered and afford lower efficacy than their in-office counterparts. A number of these devices have recently received FDA clearance. Although large clinical trials are lacking, dermatologists should familiarize themselves with the various options to help patients assess their clinical value.
在过去几年里，已经推出了许多家用激光和光疗皮肤设备，用于各种适应症，包括光嫩肤、生发、脱毛和痤疮治疗。尽管这些设备提供了隐私性且成本优势显著，但它们的功率通常较低，疗效也低于诊所使用的同类设备。其中一些设备最近已获得美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）的批准。虽然缺乏大型临床试验，但皮肤科医生应熟悉各种选择，以帮助患者评估其临床价值。
