Abstract

There are 3 means by which light can destroy hair follicles : thermal (due to local heating), mechanical (due to Shockwaves or violent cavitation) and photochemical (due to generation of toxic mediators like singlet oxygen or free radicals). Removal of hair has been attempted by all three means.
