How Do Ingrown Hairs Happen?

Ingrown hairs occur when hair grows back into the skin instead of rising. This often happens after shaving, waxing, or tweezing, where the hair is cut or removed just below the skin’s surface. The hair may curl or grow sideways as it grows back, becoming trapped beneath the skin.

These hairs may lead to redness, swelling, and sometimes painful bumps that resemble pimples. Ingrown hairs are more common in areas with coarse or curly hair, such as the beard area, underarms, bikini line, and legs.

How are Ingrown Hairs Treated?

We treat ingrown hairs with two effective methods, each designed to target the root cause and prevent future occurrences:

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a popular solution for preventing ingrown hairs. By targeting the hair follicle with laser energy, this treatment destroys the hair at the root, reducing hair growth and the likelihood of ingrown hairs. It’s a long-term solution that helps prevent ingrown hairs and leaves your skin smoother and hair-free.

Chemical Peels

Ingrown hairs occur when hair becomes trapped beneath the skin’s surface, often leading to inflammation and dark spots in affected areas. Chemical peels work by exfoliating the outer layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells, and freeing trapped hairs. Additionally, chemical peels improve the overall texture and tone of the skin by stimulating new skin cell turnover and encouraging collagen production, reducing the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation.

What are the Benefits of Ingrown Hair Treatment?

Treating ingrown hairs offers several benefits beyond just smoother skin– key advantages include:

Reduction in redness and inflammation

Prevention of future ingrown hairs

Improved skin texture

Clear, smooth skin

What to expect

Understanding Ingrown Hairs in the Growth Phases

Hair grows in cycles, with phases that include growth (anagen), resting (telogen), and shedding (catagen). Ingrown hairs typically occur when hairs in the anagen phase are cut or removed and then become trapped as they try to regrow. We can more effectively prevent ingrown hairs by targeting these hairs during specific growth phases.
Is Ingrown Hair Treatment Permanent? How Long Does It Take To See Improvement?

Laser hair removal offers long-lasting results by significantly reducing hair growth, which can lead to fewer ingrown hairs over time. While some hair may eventually regrow, it is often finer and less likely to become ingrown. Improvement in the appearance of ingrown hairs can be seen after just a few treatments, with optimal results typically achieved after a series of sessions.
How Do I Prepare for My Ingrown Hair Treatment?
1. For at least two weeks before treatment, stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning products in the area to be treated.
2. Shave the area the day before your treatment. This helps the laser effectively target the hair follicle.
3. Stop using exfoliating products or retinoids at least a week before your treatment.
4. On the day of your appointment, ensure your skin is clean and free of makeup, lotions, or other products.
