Abstract
Hair reduction can be achieved using lasers. The ideal patient for laser hair reduction has light skin with dark hair, so that the laser does not damage the epidermis while sufficiently targeting the hair follicle. The largest spot size and highest tolerable fluence should be used. During the treatment, it is important to overlap 10–20% with the laser spot to avoid generating skip areas. If any sign of epidermal damage becomes evident, the fluence should be reduced by 20–30%.
