DEPILATION

摘要

Mammalian hair is depilated using a laser source capable of emitting pulsed radiation, each pulse having a duration of 1 mu s to 1ms, the radiation having a wavelength in the range of 600 to 1500nm. A selected area of a patient's skin is irradiated by the pulsed radiation, the area having a plurality of irradiation zones; the laser source is successively pulsed so as to irradiate successive zones of the treatment area with the radiation, so as to destroy subdermal biological material associated with hair growth.
