Vitiligo is one of the disorders where we usually see Koebner lesions. Lasers target a chromophore in the skin to deliver their energy. Their effect is theoretically considered as injury and may induce Koebner lesions in vitiligo patients. Few cases were reported with the different kinds of laser, including laser hair removal (LHR). No cases have ever been reported of vitiligo lesions induced by Alexandrite LHR. Here we present a case report of a young female patient who had never had vitiligo until she received a 755-nm LHR treatment. These vitiligo lesions were completely treated with NB-UVB with no recurrence until 4 years later when she received another 755-nm LHR treatment session with a different machine, which lead to new vitiligo patches only on the areas that received the laser.

Because some people seek consultations for the removal of unwanted body hair, a permanent, safe, and non-invasive method of hair removal is needed. Laser hair removal has been a popular cosmetic procedure. It is a monthly treatment that may take up to ten sessions for permanent results. However, its efficacy varies due to the patient’s biological skin hair traits, the adjustment of the optimal parameters of the laser, and the protocols. The purpose of this review is to discuss the properties and parameters employed for laser hair removal. Once parameters for laser hair removal have been optimized, this treatment offers an effective and permanent solution for unwanted body hair.

OBJECTIVES: In numerous cultures, unwanted hair is considered a common aesthetic problem. For hair removal, the use of lasers is a common medical procedure that is comparatively safe and has few side effects. Paradoxical hypertrichosis has been reported rarely in previous studies. The aim of this study was to find out the frequency of paradoxical hypertrichosis after laser treatment. METHODOLOGY: This cross sectional study was done for a period of one year from January 2020 to January 2021. This study was conducted at Al-Shifa Clinic and Skin Aesthetic, Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.  All those patients who go-through the laser hair removal were included in the study. Diode laser with 808nm wavelength was used. All the patients were observed for paradoxical hypertrichosis after laser treatment.  RESULTS: Total 140 patients underwent laser hair removal during a one-year study. There were 120 females and 20 male in our study. The mean age of male was 28±1.2 while the mean age of females was 26±1.4. Amongst 140 patients, the overall prevalence of paradoxical hypertrichosis after laser treatment was 7.8% (n=11). This side effect was observed dominantly on the neck and face. Skin phototype III and 1V were observed with this side effect. CONCLUSION: Our research study concludes that paradoxical hypertrichosis occurs rarely after laser therapy. Study with high sample size and risk factors should be done for better understanding.

Auricular reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage involves using a soft tissue envelope to cover the cartilage framework. In patients with a low hairline, hair-bearing skin may be incorporated on the reconstructed ear, creating a difficult and conspicuous aesthetic problem. A retrospective chart review was conducted to summarize and share the experience of using the Candela GentleMax Pro 755-nm alexandrite laser system (Candela Corp) in children following auricular reconstruction. Nine patients received laser hair removal via the alexandrite laser system with good results. The number of completed sessions ranged from 1 to 5. The procedures were completed without the need for premedication or procedural sedation. Laser hair removal with an alexandrite laser system was safe, fast, and effective. With multistage auricular reconstruction, it was feasible to incorporate laser hair removal between the stages.
