Background: Unwanted hair growth is a common aesthetic problem. Intense pulsed light hair removal has emerged as a leading treatment option for long-term depilation. Material and methods: Patients with phototypes I to III (n = 800) were subjected to 4 regular sessions (n=3200) of intense pulsed light, with 2 months follow-up at the end of treatment. Two devices (Silk'n, and Rejuvene) were analyzed about adverse effects and satisfaction. Observation and results: This study of 3.200 ILP sessions did not show any serious side effects and the number of side effects was minimal (8.75% to 10.5%). Patient satisfaction was over 90%. Both devices provided a similar and signicant reduction in hair density. Conclusions: Both tested sources proved its safety and efcacy for hair removal. Patient satisfaction scores were in agreement with the treatment efcacy. The incidence of side effects has no difference between devices. Axillary bromhidrosis was an unexpected side effect.
