Article Synopsis
- Occupational exposure to ultrafine particles during laser hair removal is not well-studied, even though such exposures can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular health issues.
- In a study measuring these particles in dermatology office procedure rooms, significantly higher particle concentrations were found during and after procedures compared to before.
- Factors like the duration of the procedure, the body part being treated, and the type of laser used were key predictors of ultrafine particle levels, while using a smoke evacuator showed some reduction in particles but wasn't statistically significant.
