Abstract:
A systematic and logical approach for laser hair removal demands an understanding of its biologic and physical bases. This article presents an overview of hair anatomy and physiology followed by a mathematically nonrigorous review of tissue optics and thermal responses to laser irradiation. The reader is provided with a step by step approach to laser hair removal.
