Ingrown Hair Laser Treatment

Remove ingrown hairs with Champion Laser

Champion Laser is well experienced at eliminating problems of ingrown hairs — permanently. We are able to attack the follicle under the skin and disable it to stop regrowth.

Ingrown hair occurs when hairs attempt to grow but do not break through your exterior of your skin. Instead they grow sideways along or under your skin, or even rotate in reverse and grow into your skin. At times Ingrown hair are accompanied by folliculitis, a condition where the follicle becomes infected.

We are also very successful at treating pseudo-barbae folliculitis. This condition occurs when curved hairs turn toward the skin and end up growing back into it. Pseudofolliculitis is common for men as a result of shaving. The sharpened ends of the hair grow back into the skin, especially the neck, which causes inflammation and will eventually result in scarring.

Tweezing and epilating machines are particularly bad solutions for this upsetting problem. Neither of these processes address the underlying cause of the problem and are at best a short-lived solution and at worst can result in horrible scars and scabbing, plus ingrown hairs. As the hairs are torn out from their roots at odd angles it is common for the root or follicle to become distorted, and Ingrown hair can then become much worse in a short space of time.
