Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0074781A1] A marker substance includes a photosensitive toxic material to tag subcutaneous hair growth cells of a target zone of skin. Illumination apparatus is used to illuminate the skin in the target zone with light of a wavelength selected to effect preferential interaction with the hair growth cells tagged with the marker substance, resulting in a toxic effect inhibiting the hair growth capability of the tagged illuminated cells; wherein. In the kit the marker substance may be provided in a form comprising discrete portions of the photosensitive toxic material and a carrier material, the portions to be mixed prior to application to the target zone. Additionally or alternatively, the illumination apparatus includes an applicator configured to deliver non-laser light and/or configured to be placed against the target zone skin to deliver the illumination to the tagged hair growth cells.
