長脈衝紫翠玉與長脈衝釹－雅各雷射在除毛上之療效與安全性的比較
The Efficacy and Safety of Long-Pulsed Alexandrite Laser and Long-Pulsed Nd: YAG Laser in Hair Removal-A Preliminary Clinical Study
摘要
長久以來過多毛髮常造成男性及女性美觀上的問題。尤其在夏天，過多的腋毛常造成女性的困擾。長脈衝紫翠玉雷射的除毛效果曾在其他先前的研究報告過l,2,3。在此次的研究中，我們進行長脈衝紫翠玉與長脈衝釹－雅各雷射在除毛上之療效與安全性的比較。8位女性患者分別在右腋下接受紫翠玉雷射及左腋下接受長脈衝釹－雅各雷射治療。每位病患在四個月內分別接受了三次治療，並持續追蹤六個月。治療結束時，右側毛髮密度降低76.7%，左側毛髮密度降低55.2%，兩種治療無明顯療效上之差異。因此兩種雷射皆可安全而有效地應用在東方人的除毛治療上。

Excessive hair has been a common cosmetic concern for both males and females for centuries. Axillary hair is especially unsightly for women in certain cultures during the summer time. The use of long-pulsed Alexandrite laser in hair removal has been reported in the literature. In this study, we compared the efficacy and safety in hair removal by long-pulsed Alexandrite laser and Nd: YAG laser. We recruited 8 female patients and each one underwent Alexandrite laser therapy on the right axilla and Nd: YAG laser therapy on the left axilla. Every patient received 3 treatment sessions in 4 months and was subsequently followed up for 6 months. At the end of the study, there was a reduction of hair density of 76.7% on the right axilla and 55.2% on the left axilla. The difference was borderline (p value=0.0569). However, both lasers can be used safely and effectively in the hair removal in Asians.
