This early summary of laser hair removal primarily
discusses hair physiology, with a very brief summary of preliminary
findings with ruby and Nd:YAG lasers. Dr. Chernoff, who now prefers
the term "laser hair modification," states
of rubies: "Pulsed width proved to be a critical factor as
only 15 to 20% of incident light at 700 nanometers penetrates
through a 3 mm. thick dermis." This fundamental problem shows
the limitations of ruby lasers for especially deep or coarse hairs.
