Permanent hair reduction is defined as long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9 and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime. It is indicated for the reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral part of the scar. The laser is also indicated for benign pigmented lesions to reduce lesion size, for patients with benign lesions that would potentially benefit from aggressive treatment, and for patients with benign lesions that have not responded to other laser treatments. It is indicated for use on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI) including tanned skin, and the removal and permanent reduction of unwanted hair in Fitzpatrick I-VI, including suntanned skin types.

Any other different use is considered incorrect.
