Question:
Laser hair removal is still under study by the FDA. I am currently in a
clinical trial sponcered by the FDA using a laser for hair removal. For
me, it's too early to say whether laser is effective,
Answer:
To the best of my knowledge, FDA does not sponsor clinical
trials, but manufacturers do. As of now, four lasers have
been cleared to market by FDA, and several others are
awaiting clearance, or still conducting their clinical
trials. None of the lasers cleared to-date have been allowed to
claim permanent, or even long-term results. About all
they may claim is a reduction of hair for up to three
months, based on their clinical trial results.
