Résumé

A method for hair removal from a skin area by selective photo-inactivation of the pilo-sebaceous apparatus using ALA, derivatives of ALA, for example those with alkylene-glycol chains. Selectivity of the method is further enhanced by treatment of the epidermis by agents reducing PpIX levels in the epidermis. Side effects are diminished by using short drug/light intervals.

Hair removal

Hair removal, also known as epilation or depilation, is the deliberate removal of body hair or head hair. Hair typically grows all over the human body and can vary in thickness and length across human populations. Hair becomes more visible during and after puberty and men tend to have thicker, more visible body hair than women. Both males and females have visible body hair on the head, eyebrows, eyelashes, armpits, genital area, arms, and legs.

Épilation laser

thumb|Un appareil d'épilation laser. L'épilation laser est un processus d'épilation par exposition, on utilise des impulsions de lumière laser qui détruisent le follicule pileux. L'un des premiers articles publiés décrivant l'épilation au laser a été rédigé par le groupe du Massachusetts General Hospital en 1998. L'épilation au laser est largement pratiquée dans les cliniques et même à domicile à l'aide d'appareils conçus et vendus pour les soins personnels des consommateurs.

Plucking (hair removal)

Plucking or tweezing can mean the process of human hair removal, removing animal hair or a bird's feathers by mechanically pulling the item from the owner's body. In humans, hair removal is done for personal grooming purposes, usually with tweezers. An epilator is a motorised hair plucker. Those under the influence of deliriants or trichotillomania may pluck their own hair out of habit. Roman baths employed personnel solely to pluck hair from their clients' bodies.
