Treating In-Grown Hair

Laser Hair Removal is the most effective way to combats the aggressive effects of daily shaving burn, in-grown hairs and common skin irritations, while providing relaxing, gentle care. At the same time, the anti-inflammatory effects of the treatment will leave you with a smooth, blemish-free, matte appearance.

Causes of In-Grown Hair

As the hair grows, it may come out on more of an angle than normal, causing it to miss the opening of the follicle, then it curls back around and start to grow back into the skin. This leads to infection, which is the source of the papules (those raised red spots) that commonly occur when hairs become ingrown.

Ingrown hairs usually resemble acne and are characterized by raised, red bumps and occasionally pustules, or whiteheads. The two are actually very similar. As the hair grows under the skin, it blocks the pore and allows bacteria to grow, essentially creating a pimple.
