Primary Outcomes (1)
Effectiveness of diode and IPL laser in hirsuitism
A total of 60 female patients (30 patients in each group) with unwanted facial hair diagnosed by a consultant dermatologist were included in this study. In Group A patients were subjected to intense pulse light therapy while patients in Group B were subjected to diode laser for three sessions one month apart. Effectiveness in both groups was ascertained in terms of hair reduction, less adverse effects, side effects, and patients' satisfactory response at the end of final session.After the "response at the end of final session the total duration of the therapy will be 12 weeks.

Study Arms (2)
Group A Intense pulse light laser
ACTIVE COMPARATORIPL laser Patients in Group A received intense pulse light (IPL) frequency of 690. A total of three sessions were carried out one month apart, and hair reduction was assessed by seeing thickness of hair and by counting the number of hair follicles in a 1cm2 area on each side of the face before the first session and at the 4th month. A consultant dermatologist assessed the reduction in hair count on the affected side of face at the end of last session. Patients' response and any adverse effects experienced by patients' were recorded
Group B Diode laser
ACTIVE COMPARATORDiode laser patients in Group B received diode laser treatment system. Diode laser was employed using triple wavelength (1064, 810 and 755 mm). A total of three sessions were carried out one month apart, and hair reduction was assessed by seeing thickness of hair and by counting the number of hair follicles in a 1cm2 area on each side of the face before the first session and at the 4th month. A consultant dermatologist assessed the reduction in hair count on the affected side of face at the end of last session. Patients' response and any adverse effects experienced by the patients were recorded.
