Overview of laser medical data

Some physicians use other laser/light brands for hair removal, even though they are not marketed specifically for that purpose. This is called off-label use. If you don’t see the name of the device you’re researching here, find out its type from the practitioner and review the medical literature under that laser/light device type.
