Those Troublesome Red Bumps...

About Ingrown Hairs

An ingrown hair is a hair that doesn't grow back out after shaving or epilating. You can recognize it by a red bump, often accompanied by a yellow discoloration (sebum). Ingrown hairs can occur anywhere on the body. However, they mainly occur in areas where the hair is thicker, such as in the pubic area and armpits.

An ingrown hair develops when a hair becomes trapped after shaving or epilating. The hair then doesn't grow outward properly, causing it to remain under the skin surface and seek a path to grow. An ingrown hair can lead to inflammation of the hair follicle. A hair growing under the skin can block sebum production in the sebaceous gland.

Want to treat ingrown hairs permanently? Then laser hair removal is the solution. With laser hair removal, the hair follicles are destroyed by a laser and the skin is permanently hair-free. The hair's pigment absorbs the laser light and converts it into heat. The hair follicle breaks down, preventing new hair from growing.
