Ingrown hair treatment
Ingrown hairs and razor bumps happen when hair curls back into the skin after shaving or waxing, causing red, sore bumps and sometimes marks.

How we treat it
Laser hair removal reduces the hair itself, which is the most effective long-term way to stop ingrowns. Peels can help clear existing bumps and marks.
Treatments for ingrown hairs

|---|---|---|---|
| Laser Hair Removal | 6–12 sessions; many see results from 4 | Face every 2–4 weeks, body every 4–6 weeks | Little to none – mild redness or warmth for a few hours |
| Skin Peels | 3–6 sessions | 2–6 weeks apart | Light peels: little to none. Stronger peels: a few days of flaking. |
