<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Hirsutism can represent a severe cosmetic disturbance, sometimes with psychological implications. Various lasers and broadband light sources have been developed for treatment of hirsutism. The objective of this study was to know the efficacy of IPL in hirsutism patients</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Forty patients were included in the study. Treatment parameters in respect of pulse duration and fluence were determined according to manufacturer’s recommendation. Hair removal efficiency was calculated as a percentage of the number of hairs present at each visit compared with baseline count.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Most of the patients were of the skin type 4 and type 5. More number of patients had hair growth over the chin and sides. Among 40 patients, 70% of patients had good response and 15% of patients had an excellent response. Minimal side effects only noted.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> IPL is safe and efficient modality for treatment of hirsutism.</p>

The utilization of lasers and intense pulsed light sources is playing an increasing role in the management of cosmetic lower extremity venous ectasias. The advent of long-wavelength technologies in conjunction with variable pulse durations, spot sizes and the capabilities of the technologies to deliver high fluences has made the treatment of small non-cannulizable vessels <1 mm as well as larger veins up to 3 mm in diameter an efficient therapeutic modality in this setting. The monomodal approach for the treatment of such vessels is outlined in this review.
