Ingrown hairs, particularly on the beard, neck and back area are very common in men. For many men ingrown hairs and the pain and unpleasant appearance that go along with them is a problem that they have learned to live with. Many people are not aware that laser hair removal can help to solve the problem of ingrown hairs.
Using laser hair removal, the chances of suffering ingrown hairs in problem areas is reduced by removing the offending hair for good where possible.
In fact, the condition of Pilonidal Sinus, which results is very painful cysts, is believed to be caused by ingrown hairs and laser hair removal is often recommended by dermatologists in preventing the condition reoccurring.
Treatment usually involves 6-8 sessions in the problem area spaced approximately 6 weeks apart. The result is a permanent reduction of hair in that area and as a result a permanent reduction in ingrown hairs.
