Ingrown hairs

An ingrown hair curls into the skin instead of out. It can leave a bump, a dark mark, and a habit of picking that makes the next one more likely.

Bikini, underarms, legs, beard, anywhere hair is removed can ingrow. Repeat ingrowns are what we plan for.

Dark marks after the bump has gone are especially common on deeper skin. Those can be talked through once the cycle has slowed.

Ingrown hairs happen when a hair curls back into the skin, bikini, underarms, legs, beard. Picking usually makes a dark mark that lasts longer than the bump.

Repeat ingrowns are a cycle. Laser hair reduction is how we slow that cycle here, matched at consultation. Razor bumps on the beard are treated here too.

Come when the pattern is already clear, one ingrown is luck, a pattern is a reason to walk in.

Women and men. Bikini, legs, beard.

First visit: we look at the map and suggest.

You can come in the middle of a flare. That is useful. Laser waits if you are pregnant. Laser is never used during pregnancy.
