 Traditional 1064nm laser fluences defined here as 22-40 Jcm2 for a normal bearded subject produce significant discomfort. Blistering and subsequent pigmentary changes have been reported in patients with type V-VI skin.7 Patients often require topical anesthesia with prolonged application times, ranging from 45 to 90 minutes. Treatments are usually scheduled every four to six weeks and in the military, these are conducted by trained physicians at major treatment facilities. Theoretically, the aim of the 1064nm laser treatment is long lasting or permanent hair reduction via conductive thermal diffusion causing lethal damage to the hair bulb and bulge area from the melanosome-containing hair shaft and matrix. However, in patients treated at the highest possible fluence eventually become symptomatic within 12 to 18 months of their final treatment.
