The Nd:YAGs are FR pulsed, and using relatively lng pulse durations of 1000 usec.
One of our doctors is using a 600 micron fiber and 650 usec to remove unwanted hair, since the longest PD we have is 650.
I’m waiting for a report, but results seem to be promising.

My first hair transplant was done by an oral surgeon without an M.D. degree. Florida boards are very conservative and a great deal of controversy was created.
Think of it this way: Most of us would not want physicians bleaching teeth.

whitertthSpectatorAl,
I was only thinking about upper lip….
I plan on taking a botox/collagen filler course this summer for use around the mouth…I spoke to NY Boards and their liberal definition is “along as it pertains to oral health”…When I asked if a beautiful smile and oral health go hand in hand he said in a roundabout way….yes
Robert Gregg DDSSpectatorThanks Al.
The doctor is doing it on himself………..
Cya,
Bob
SwpmnSpectatorThat’s cool guys. I’ve lasered all kinds of stuff off myself, staff, spouses, girlfriends, etc. but never on real live paying patients.
Take care,
Al
