“…The concept of using low fluences at a high average power with a multiple pass in-motion technique was introduced for the 810-nm diode lasers, leading to a dramatic decrease in therapy-related pain, less discomfort and good efficacy [15][16][17]. The pain experienced by our patients was more significant than in the case presented by Paasch et al [7] because higher fluences were required to achieve the results obtained. However, we should stress the good tolerance of the in-motion method, in which the level of pain was comparable when applying much higher total accumulated energy than with the conventional method.…”

“…On average, we consider that the clearances achieved were good in the context of the literature [7][8][9][10][11], and very good in comparison with our previous experience with other equipment [6,[12][13][14]. The efficacy percentages obtained appear lower than those achieved by Paasch et al in a single patient with more suitable hair removal characteristics, using lower (and less painful) fluences, with the same laser [7]. Paasch observed a clearance of 91.6% using the in-motion technique and 88.8% using the conventional technique.…”

Summary Technical advances in recent years have led to new dermatologic laser systems, light sources, and treatment concepts. Commonly used wavelengths – generated today with LED‐based devices – allow for the combination of various tissue effects and are associated with improved outcomes. Laser hair removal has become more efficient with the use of diode lasers that emit multiple wavelengths simultaneously. In the near future, novel LED‐based lasers will also be introduced for the treatment of vascular lesions. Here, too, the combination of different wavelengths promises to be beneficial. Picosecond lasers have led to advances in the field of pigment removal (tattoos).

Recent developments (new wavelengths, treatment concepts, and combinations) in the field of lasers, intense pulsed light (IPL), LED, as well as new energy and light sources have opened up new therapeutic options that extend beyond mere aesthetic indications. Thus, while fractional lasers used to be employed to merely treat wrinkles, the same devices - in the context of laser-assisted drug delivery - have now become important tools in the treatment of scars, field cancerization, and epithelial tumors. The requirements posed to physicians, both with respect to establishing the indication and conducting treatment, have been growing along with the increase in technological complexity as well as the rising number of comorbidities and comedications in a patient population that continues to age. At the same time, home-use devices have been introduced for a variety of indications. These devices are characterized by low power and special safety features aimed at preventing accidents, risks, and side effects. Despite the reduced efficacy of such self-treatment devices, there is an increased risk of misuse, given that the basic prerequisite for adequate treatment cannot be ensured, to wit, the exact diagnosis and therapeutic indication. Consequently, during hair removal or anti-wrinkle treatment, pigmented lesions and cutaneous neoplasms may be altered, thus giving rise to expected, unexpected and new side effects and complications. In the aforementioned setting, it is important that all potential users of these new technologies be properly trained in a manner that ensures those treated a maximum of safety and efficacy in accordance with the guiding principle "diagnosis certa - ullae therapiae fundamentum".

Novel 755-nm diode laser vs. conventional 755-nm scanned alexandrite laser: Side-by-side comparison pilot study for thorax and axillary hair removal

Abstract: The new 755 nm diode laser is as effective and safe as the traditional 755 nm alexandrite laser. Additionally, treatment with the 755 nm diode laser with HR and SHR modes was found to be less painful.
