Abstract
Unwanted hair growth on certain body parts is a common aesthetic concern. Different options including shaving, waxing, and chemicals are used for hair removal. These options provide temporary results; hence, laser therapy has become a popular option for hair removal among people. Significant advancements have taken place in laser devices for improving the results of hair removal. One of the recent developments in this area is introduction of triple wavelength diode laser for hair removal. This technology combines the benefits of three wavelengths in a single device. The triple wavelength laser device may particularly be beneficial for people with darker skin. Available limited evidence from small clinical studies suggests its efficacy and safety for hair removal in people with skin type III to V. Studies in Indian population are needed to provide further insights about its efficacy and safety in patients and acceptance by the clinicians.Keywords
