Razor Bumps

Razor Bumps Treatment at The Laser Institute of Pinehurst


Razor bumps, or Pseudo Folliculitis Barbae (PFB), is a common condition that occurs when regrowing hair curls back into the skin after shaving, leading to irritation in the form of pustules or papules. PFB is particularly prevalent in individuals with curly or thick hair, as the hair follicles are more prone to re-enter the skin. This condition often leads to inflammation, discomfort, and dark spots, especially in areas like the face, neck, and bikini line.

What Are the Best Treatments for Razor Bumps?

At The Laser Institute of Pinehurst, we offer highly effective treatments to reduce and prevent razor bumps:

Cynosure® Apogee Elite™: This laser treatment helps reduce the risk of razor bumps by permanently reducing hair growth. By targeting the hair follicle, it prevents hair from growing back and curling into the skin.

Candela® GentleLase Pro®: Another laser option, this treatment focuses on hair reduction to minimize future occurrences of razor bumps.

Topical Treatments: In addition to laser therapy, topical treatments can be used to soothe inflammation and prevent infection in irritated skin.

Prevent Razor Bumps with Long-Lasting Solutions

Laser hair removal offers a long-term solution for PFB by preventing the hair from growing back in a way that causes razor bumps. This treatment is particularly effective for individuals with curly or thick hair who suffer from frequent irritation after shaving.
