after laser hair removal<BR><BR>Lasers Med Sci. 2006
Jul;21(2):82-5<BR><BR>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=AbstractPlus&list_uids=16612673&itool=pubmed_DocSum<BR><BR>The
incidence of acneform reactions was 6%. The following variables showed a
statistically significant effect on the percentage of patients with reactions:
age, with younger patients more likely to develop lesions; those treated with
the Nd:YAG laser type were more likely to develop lesions than those treated
with the alexandrite; and the Fitzpatrick skin type V showed the highest
incidence of acneform lesions, followed by skin types II and IV. History of
PCOS, number of prior treatments, use of aloe vera cooling gel, and the sex of
the patient had no apparent effect on the incidence of acneform lesions.
Acneform reactions are relatively common after laser hair removal; however, in
the majority of cases, the severity of the reaction was mild and lasted for a
short duration.
