Laser Hair Removal as a Treatment for Ingrown Hairs
Ingrown hairs or razor bumps are the same condition and are known as “Pseudofolliculitis.” This condition is not only irritating and painful, but it can result in unsightly red bumps on the surface of the skin. People who have naturally coarse or tightly curling hair will often get this condition.
In men, ingrown hairs often occur in the beard area and on the neck. For women, the problem areas tend to be focused on the sensitive bikini area. When resultant rashes occur, it can be unattractive and embarrassing.
An ingrown hair is a shortened hair that does not grow straight out of the follicle. Instead, it curls into the side wall of the follicle producing inflammation that can result in the development of a pimple or cyst. These lesions are usually tender.
Some hair removal options such as waxing, tweezing or close shaving can often make this condition worse and actually increase the irritation.
Laser Hair Removal can be the perfect solution for Pseudofolliculitis. By eliminating the hair entirely, this folding or curving growth pattern no longer exists.
We have helped many clients eliminate this problem successfully with treatments on our Gentle YAG laser, the perfect solution for people of all skin colors. In fact, for men and women of color, Pseudofolliculitis, if left untreated over time, can cause keloid scarring in the beard area. By utilizing Laser Hair Removal for this condition, these scars can be avoided.
