“…A similar comparison trial with long pulsed versions of Alexandrite, diode and Nd: YAG lasers systems revealed 65.6%, 46.9% and 42.4% mean hair reduction, respectively (10). In another work, the mean hair reduction with Alexandrite system was 75.9% and with Nd: YAG system 73.6% after four sessions (11). On the contrary, they have reported higher pain severity in the Alexandrite group.…”

“…Active growing and pigmented hair follicles in the early anagen phase are most vulnerable for thermic destruction via laser therapy [12]. Recently, a randomized trial comparing alexandrite and Nd:YAG laser for leg hair reduction showed similar results in hair reduction, but the alexandrite laser produced statistically significant more pain than the Nd:YAG laser [13]. Although other laser techniques such as alexandrite laser, diode laser or intense pulse light laser represent other therapeutic options, the long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser seems to be the safest device for hair removal [10].…”

“…Bununla birlikte deri fototipi IV-VI bireylerde kullanıldığı çalışmalar da mevcuttur 8,9 . Alexandrite lazer ile yapılmış çalışmalar arasında kanıt değeri yüksek, randomize, araştırıcının kör olduğu bir çalışmada deri fototipi III-IV bireylere 8 hafta aralıklarla, 4 seans, 12-18 mm spot genişliği, 1,5 milisaniye vuru süresi, 20-40 Joule/cm² dozlardaki uygulamalardan 18 ay sonra kıllarda tedavi öncesine göre %76-84 azalma olduğu tespit edilmiştir 10 . Bir başka çalışmada deri fototipi III-IV olan 144 Asyalı bireye Alexandrite lazer ile 12,5 mm spot genişliği, 40 milisaniye vuru süresi, 16-24 Joule/cm² dozlarda uygulama yapılmıştır.…”
