Dealing with Ingrown hairs can be a pain. They curl back growing back into the skin’s surface, causing an unattractive and painful bump. Ingrown hairs can happen to anyone and shaving, waxing or even wearing tight fitting clothing can increase your chances of getting ingrown hairs. Although ingrowing hairs can occur anywhere on your body, they are most commonly found on legs, underarms, faces and bikini regions.
Sometimes ingrown hairs are accompanied with an infection in the follicle area and when this happens, the area becomes irritated and sore. The infection can also lead to itching, skin rashes, and puss collecting under the skin.
Those affected by ingrown hairs have tried just about everything from topical applications of topical chemical exfoliators, steroids (cortisone), retinoid, antibiotics, special razors you name it, they’ve tried it. These remedies can often cause severe skin irritation and may not fully resolve the problem.
There is one treatment that is highly effective in resolving the ingrown hair problem and that is laser removal. Laser hair removal goes to the root of the problem, literally. The laser energy is absorbed into the hair follicle destroying its ability to produce hair.
Laser hair removal does require a series of treatments, typically at least 8 and facial hair may need maintenance treatments 1 to 2 times a year after completing a series just to keep the ingrown at bay.
With each treatment the follicle shrinks in size, so the hair it can produce becomes much finer and lighter in color. In turn this prevents the ingrown from even happening. The goal is to permanently deaden the follicles. You can expect about 90% of the hair will not comeback.
Along with getting rid of the ingrown hairs and bumps, laser hair removal also helps to alleviate any skin discoloration caused by the ingrown hairs. Treatments are fast with minimal discomfort.
So, if you suffer from ingrown hairs, stopping wasting your money on creams and topical therapies that don’t work. Laser hair removal offers a permanent, proven solution to this troublesome problem.
