An ingrown hair occurs when a hair curls back or grows sideways into the skin instead of rising up from it. This common condition often leads to red, inflamed bumps or small, painful lumps on the skin. Ingrown hairs can be caused by improper shaving techniques, tight clothing, or dead skin cells clogging hair follicles. Treatment options for serious ingrown hairs include lasers to alleviate discomfort and reduce the risk of scarring.
Treatment Options
Fotona Laser
Fotona laser treatment can address ingrown hairs by precisely targeting the affected areas, promoting hair follicle destruction, reducing inflammation, and preventing future occurrences for smoother, clearer skin.
Average number of treatments: 4-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, occasional touchups may be needed
Aerolase Laser
The Aerolase laser can effectively target and treat ingrown hairs by safely penetrating the skin to destroy the hair follicle, reducing inflammation and preventing future ingrown hair occurrences.

Dos & Don’ts – Before Treatment
Please arrive with a clean face free of makeup to ensure the skin is ready for the procedure. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid using skin-irritating substances like retinol, vitamin C, and exfoliants in the 3-5 days leading up to the appointment, as these can increase skin sensitivity during the treatment and discomfort.
Daily sunscreen use is crucial to protect the skin, and it’s advised to avoid sun exposure before the treatment to maintain the skin’s health and aid in the effectiveness of the ingrown hair treatment.
Dos & Don’ts – After Treatment
To maintain the skin’s health and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment, it is recommended to continue daily sunscreen use to protect the treated area from sun damage and aid in the healing process.
It is also crucial to avoid direct sun exposure after the treatment to prevent any potential complications and ensure the skin’s recovery is not hindered.
