HAIR REMOVAL

Manufacturers should be aware that receiving an FDA clearance for general permission to market their devices does not permit them to advertise the laser hair for either hair removal or wrinkle treatment, even though hair removal or wrinkle treatment may be a by-product of any cleared laser hair procedure. Further, manufacturers may not claim that laser hair removal is either painless or permanent unless the FDA determines that there are sufficient data to demonstrate such results. Several manufacturers received FDA permission to claim, "Permanent reduction," NOT "permanent removal" for their lasers. This means that although laser hair treatments with these devices will permanently reduce the total number of body hairs, they will not result in a permanent hair removal of all hair remover. The specific claim granted is "intended to effect stable, long-term, or permanent reduction" through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles. Permanent hair reduction is defined as the long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regime, which may include several sessions. The number of hairs regrowing must be stable over time greater than the duration of the complete growth cycle of hair follicles, which varies from four to twelve months according to body location. Permanent hair reduction does not necessarily imply the elimination of all hairs in the treatment area.

FDA does not make comparisons between systems or how well or safely they work compared to another company's system. FDA does not recommend one laser system over another. Lasers cleared for body hair removal is also cleared for facial hair removal.
