Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Why do I get ingrown hairs? Ingrown hairs occur when a shaved or tweezed hair grows back into your skin and forms an irritated bump. Ingrown hairs can affect anyone who removes body or facial hair by shaving, tweezing, or waxing. They are most frequently found on legs, underarms, faces, and bikini regions. Ingrown hairs are often accompanied with infections of the hair follicles which leads to further skin irritation and the collection of puss beneath the surface of your skin.

Why is laser hair removal different? During laser hair removal, the sharp light of the laser destroys the hair all the way down to the root. Laser hair removal does not lead to ingrown hairs because the hair follicle is disabled further during each treatment until it is completely destroyed. As the hair follicle is unable to regrow, there is zero risk of it becoming an ingrown hair. Laser hair removal is a permanent solution to eliminate ingrown hairs.

How does laser hair removal remove existing ingrown hairs? Laser hair removal treatments go straight to the root of the problem (literally) to destroy already ingrown hairs. The laser energy renders all hair follicles completely unable to produce more hair. Although laser hair removal does require a series of treatments (typically around eight), no ingrown hairs will be left standing at the conclusion of the treatments.
