摘要：

Current Ruby lasers or Flashlamp light sources for non-invasive removal of unwanted hairs are limited to a treatment speed of approximately 25cm(2)/minute. Although adequate for facial treatments, that speed is too slow for treatment of backs and legs. We present an 18-month study of the use of a Spps Alexandrite laser (755mm wavelength) operated at 20-40 J/cm(2). The 2-millisecond pulse duration laser was used on over 200 patients. Results show less than 5-10% regrowth 3 months after the last treatment in over 90% of patients. The average number elf necessary full area treatments is two followed by 1-4 touch-ups at intervals of 1 1/2 -3 months, depending on the body site. Treatment speed is 20 minutes for a back and less than 15 minutes per leg.
