Medical data This section lists published clinical data on various methods
of hair removal. In some cases, I have included unpublished reports
for methods with little or no published data.
Citation ratings
To help consumers focus on the most useful information, I have
marked each citation as follows:
 = recommended only for in-depth researchers rather
than consumers
= may be worth ordering
for thorough or specialized consumer research
= strongly recommended
for any consumer researching that method
Citations without stars have not been reviewed yet.
