Hi there,
There is good evidence for long-term hair removal/reduction using laser of suitable wavelengths, such as the long-pulse 1064nm NDYag laser, which is commonly used in clinics in Singapore. Evidence has been found for long-term hair removal efficacy beyond 6 months after repetitive treatments with suitable lasers, whereas the current long-term evidence is sparse for IPL devices.
The ideal patient to achieve best results for long-term hair removal would be someone with thick and dark terminal hair, fair skin, and a normal hormonal status. Of course, individual response to lasers may vary. Do speak to your doctor to find out if you may be suitable for laser hair removal treatments.
Best regards,
Dr. Joanna Chan
