Razor bumps, or pseudofolliculitis barbae
In medical lingo occur when curly hairs grow back into the skin — hence: ingrown — causing irritation, inflammation, itchiness, and an unsightly cluster of bumps.
Plot twist: the madness doesn't stop at the neck area and can happen anywhere you shave, wax or pluck. Ask any guy looking to do a bit of manscaping or woman gearing up for bikini season and they'll tell you – ingrown hairs are equal opportunity annoyers. Suddenly, everyday social situations like job interviews, presentations, beach outings — intimacy — become way more complicated than they should be.
Short of letting your hair grow wild, you may find some, if any, relief through laser hair removal
But laser treatments are far from a magic bullet. For starters, they aren’t permanent, and aren’t designed to remove ingrown hair underneath the skin. And laser treatments are even less effective on African Americans, who tend to have curly hair and are among the hardest hit by razor bumps.
But we’ve got a solution:
Turtlenecks!
(Kidding)
…Electrolysis!
Electrolysis uses the latest tech to send delicate heat to the root of those unwanted hair follicles.
In many cases, insurance is required to cover these services.
And once you take down the hair follicles, the ingrown hairs and razor bumps go down too.
Electrolysis is the ONLY FDA-approved method to permanently remove the hair causing these razor bumps. It also works on all skin and hair colors and is effective at lowering the risk of infections and alleviating that constant itchiness and discomfort.
Don’t let razor bumps steal the spotlight.
