Résumé
Treatment of hirsutism is usually resistant, and from medical management to laser hair reduction, the treatment of hirsutism and its assessment are the most challenging. The aim of the study was to compare the response to treatment by laser hair reduction with long pulsed (1064 nm) Nd:YAG laser in patients of idiopathic hirsutism and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) by clinical and trichoscopic assessment. A hospital-based comparative, observational prospective study was carried out on female patients with hirsutism over a period of 18 months with two groups of participants: fifty women with idiopathic hirsutism (group A) and fifty with PCOS (group B). Laser hair reduction was done with long pulsed (1064 nm) Nd:YAG laser in both groups up to six sessions, 4 weeks apart and followed for 3 months post last laser session. After the sixth session of laser hair reduction, excellent response (> 75% reduction) from baseline was seen in 70% of patients in group A and in 54% of patients in group B. After 3 months of follow-up of the last laser session, it was found that the results persisted in patients with idiopathic cause than in those due to PCOS, seen both clinically and trichoscopically with decrease in hair shaft thickness, hair shaft colour, terminal vs. vellus hair ratio and hair density per cm
