Ingrown Hairs

Ingrown hairs are characterized by a red bump, similar to a mosquito bite, surrounding a hair follicle. Usually ingrown hairs are caused when a hair becomes trapped inside the follicle. When laser hair removal first came to market, it was used by medical practitioners for people who experienced chronic ingrown hairs. Today, doctors recommend that people prone to ingrown hairs treat them with laser technology. Laser hair removal is also beneficial for preventing new ingrown hairs, and permanently reducing the amount of hair that grows.
