Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Compare percentage of absolute hair reduction with 6 sessions of IPL with 6 sessions of triple wavelength of diode laser in females diagnosed with facial hirsutismTimepoint: Absolute hair reduction will be assessed between 6 sessions of each IPL and triple wavelength diode laser and the sessions will be done at 4-6 weekly interval and Final assessement of absolute hair reduction will be done after 4 weeks of last session.	—
