          Abstract

          Full-thickness skin grafts harvested from hair-bearing areas may negatively impact cosmetic outcomes if the recipient site is hairless. Intraoperative depilation of unwanted hair follicles using an electrosurgical device can permanently remove hair with a single treatment and improve overall cosmesis.

          Terminal hair growth after full thickness skin graft: Treatment with normal mode ruby laser.

          Treatment of hirsutism is often unsatisfactory with many of the currently used methods providing only temporary improvement. The use of lasers for hair removal has shown promising results and treatment by using the normal mode ruby laser has provided reduction in hair numbers sustained on follow-up. We report a woman who developed terminal hair growth at the site of a full thickness skin graft and describe her successful treatment with the normal mode ruby laser.
