Get Rid of Ingrown Hair Scars, Razor Bumps & Keloids
Tired of those ingrown hair scars? We so get it! We work hard to shave bikinis, underarms, and create silky legs. Then there is that ugly little ingrown that causes a permanent raised scar. Of course, men pay a price too with having to shave daily on the delicate facial skin!
Finally Treat the Root Cause — Not Just the Symptoms With Board-Certified Dermatologist Dr. Tanya Kormeili
What Causes Scars from Ingrown Hairs?
Ingrown hairs can leave more than just bumps. For some patients, they cause dark scars, raised scars, or keloids that can last for years. These scars commonly appear in areas that experience frequent shaving or friction including:
- Beard and neck
- Bikini area
- Legs
- Underarms
- Back of the neck
If you are dealing with raised scars, dark marks, or thick keloids from ingrown hairs, a dermatologist can treat both the scar and the root cause of the ingrown hairs.
Here are Dr. Kormeili’s thoughts on helping with ingrown hair scars.
Fortunately, laser hair removal allows us to safely get rid of unwanted body hair permanently. If you do have ingrown hairs from shaving or waxing, it’s important to remove them before they become infected.
Of course, removing these ugly ingrown hairs from under the skin also leaves a scar. Usually the scar is even uglier than the ingrown hair.
Now what? How do you treat the ingrown hair scars?
How Dr. Kormeili Treats Ingrown Hair Scars
Many patients try creams for years with minimal improvement. Dermatologic treatments can dramatically improve both the scar and the cause of the ingrown hairs.
