The use of light-based home-use hair removal devices has seen a significant increase in the last decade all over the world. Home-based devices would be especially more relevant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with patients having less access to laser hair removal in clinics. This survey attempted to evaluate the practices-related use of light-based home-use hair removal devices in our region and also to assess patient satisfaction related to the same.
This was a cross-sectional survey using an electronic questionnaire.
Out of a total of 111 valid responses, 39 had used light-based home-use hair removal devices. The most common type used was intense pulse light-based devices. On a scale of 1-10, the average satisfaction with the product for hair removal was 6.07. Incidence of side effects was very low (only 4 out of 39 mentioned side effects), and the most common side effects mentioned were redness, "bumps," burns, and discoloration on the lased sites.
The frequency of use of light-based home hair removal devices is quite high in our region. Patients seem to be satisfied with the same, and the incidence of side effects is low in our population.
在过去十年中,基于光的家用脱毛设备在全球范围内的使用显著增加。在新冠疫情的背景下,家用设备尤其具有相关性,因为患者在诊所进行激光脱毛的机会减少。本次调查旨在评估我们地区基于光的家用脱毛设备的使用情况以及相关的实践,并评估患者对此的满意度。
这是一项使用电子问卷的横断面调查。
在总共111份有效回复中,39人使用过基于光的家用脱毛设备。最常用的类型是基于强脉冲光的设备。在1至10分的评分中,对脱毛产品的平均满意度为6.07。副作用的发生率非常低(39人中只有4人提到有副作用),最常提到的副作用是激光照射部位发红、“小肿块”、灼伤和色素沉着。
在我们地区,基于光的家用脱毛设备的使用频率相当高。患者似乎对此感到满意,并且我们人群中副作用的发生率较低。
