Hypertrichosis lanuginosa congenita treated with diode laser epilation during infancy

Abstract

We report the case of a girl with hypertrichosis lanuginosa congenita treated with diode laser depilation since the age of 9 months. The treatment was well tolerated, and neither general nor local anesthesia was needed. A reduction of approximately 80% of facial and body hair was noted, which improved her condition significantly. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
