Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for Ingrown Hair

You no doubt appreciate the look and the feel of silky smooth, hair free skin and because of that, chances are you’re all too familiar with those ugly, sometimes painful, ingrown hairs that can occur. Ingrown hairs are common in adults who shave, wax or epilate in order to achieve a hair free outcome, however laser hair removal can actually eradicate the problem of ingrown hairs for good.

Before going into the benefits of laser hair removal for ingrown hair, we need to take a look at what ingrown hair is and what causes it.

Ingrown hair: what it is and how it is caused

Ingrown hair refers to when hair grows backward or sideways into the skin. The hair itself curls in on itself, preventing it from erupting through the skin as hair normally does when it grows as it should. It is caused mainly by shaving, or other actions where the hair is cut very close to the skin by a sharp object.

When the hair becomes trapped underneath the skin’s surface, it can be quite painful due to inflammation, and infection and pus build up can often also be detected.

Often, ingrown hair will take on the appearance of a boil or pimple. Sometimes it is also possible, in the centre of the inflamed area, to see the imbedded hair.

The treatment of ingrown hair and benefits of laser hair removal for ingrown hair

Often, people reach for the tweezers or even a sewing needle in an effort to free the embedded ingrown hair, however this can actually create scarring and cause considerable pain. Alternatively, over the counter ingrown hair treatments are available at pharmacies.

All too often though, ingrown hair will become a recurring problem for anybody who shaves, waxes or epilates in an effort to remove hair. The only way you can try to prevent ingrown hair if you use these hair removal methods is by taking the time to exfoliate, in order to help the hair penetrate the skin’s surface.

If you’re after a total and lasting solution the benefits of laser hair removal for ingrown hair may be the answer! Laser hair removal is the most effective, permanent way to prevent ingrown hair for good. That’s because without hair growing, ingrown hair simply cannot occur. Laser hair removal targets individual hair follicles and kills them, so hair will never be produced by them again.

That’s welcome news to anybody who appreciates silky smooth, hair free skin – and skin that’s free of unsightly and often painful ingrown hair!

Medical Grade Lasers vs. IPL for Hair Removal

Spend just a short amount of time research hair removal online and you’ll more than likely hear the term laser hair removal and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light).  These are definitely the two most commonly used therapies chosen by people keen to say goodbye to unwanted hair…but how exactly are they different and is any one method of hair removal better than the other?

The best way to answer these questions is to have a look at exactly what laser hair removal is and what IPL is.

Medical Grade Lasers and IPL

Medical grade lasers are highly technological pieces of machinery that must be operated by trained and qualified technicians.  The way the lasers work is that they generate their own light which is then focused onto a specific area – even a specific hair follicle.  They have a single wavelength, providing a targeted treatment for hair removal.

On the other hand, IPL, although using light to remove hair, emits a varying wavelength of light.  This means the intensity of light varies across the area the light source focuses on.  It will be more powerful in some areas, and not necessarily in the areas where the unwanted hair is.

So what does that mean for hair removal?

Because of the single wavelength emitted by the medical grade laser, the laser can be focused on a specific area for powerful hair removal.  Unfortunately for IPL, it cannot do this, even though the light it emits covers a wider area.  The light emitted by the IPL cannot focus on a specific area, and people who choose IPL for hair removal will be exposed to radiation generated by the device which won’t necessarily be effective in removing hair, simply because it cannot specifically target the unwanted hair.  This also exposes the client to heat and discomfort which can be avoided with medical grade lasers for hair removal.

Although medical grade lasers provide a reasonably comfortable hair removal solution, there is still the sensation of a snapping rubber band on your skin when you undergo laser hair removal treatment.  The benefit with the medical grade laser though is that it concentrates that minimal discomfort to the area where the unwanted hair actually is.

Is there any such thing as a 100% permanent laser hair removal solution?

Laser Hair Removal Dangers and How to Avoid Them

Laser hair removal is by far the most effective way to achieve a permanent hair removal solution. With more and more laser hair removal clinics popping up all over Australia, it certainly provides customers with plenty of variety when it comes to choosing a clinic. What is absolutely important however, in choosing your laser hair removal clinic is establishing whether or not the professional providing the treatment is qualified and experienced in providing you with a safe permanent hair removal solution.
If you choose laser hair removal for yourself, normal, short-term side-effects of the procedure will include some redness and some swelling. Your clinician will provide you with after procedure care advice, to help you overcome these side-effects which should disappear in a couple of days.

Laser hair removal dangers and how to avoid them

Despite the fact that laser hair removal is largely considered to be a safe procedure, there are some dangers and side-effects associated with it. These are:

• Laser Hair Removal Burns: The incidence of laser hair removal burns is rare, however it is best to familiarise yourself with it, prior to choosing the laser hair removal path. Laser hair removal burns are the most common of the nasty side-effects associated with laser hair removal, and they almost always result when an inexperienced clinician performs the procedure. Laser hair removal burns occur when the skin absorbs the energy emitted by the laser, instead of the hair follicle. It is more common in people with darker skin colour, because pigment of a darker colour absorbs light more than lighter skin pigment.

• Hyperpigmentation and Hypopigmentation: These refer to changes in skin tone. Hyperpigmentation is skin darkening and hypopigmentation is skin lightening after laser hair removal treatment. Again, these side-effects, although rare, are more commonly experienced by those with darker skin tones. Generally, incidences of hyperpigmentation are reversible, however this is not the case with hypopigmentation.

How to avoid such laser hair removal dangers

Although the two major dangers of laser hair removal dangers are rare, they highlight just how important it is to choose your laser hair clinician wisely. Here are some tips to ensure you make a safe choice:

• Ensure the clinic provides a pre-procedure consultation: The clinician will check your skin to advise you of your skin’s suitability for the procedure.

• Underqualifed Technicians: – Staff at our clinic undergo training programs on a regular basis. We only empty technicians with experience in the hair removal industry.

• Avoid clinics with too-good-to-be-true pricing: These tend to go hand-in-hand with clinics where the procedures are performed by those who are not experienced or qualified.
