Pseudo-Folliculitis Barbae, commonly known as shaving bumps, is a widespread problem among individuals with curly hair and dark skin. As the hair follicle grows out of the skin, it immediately curls and re-enters the skin. The skin reacts to it as a foreign body and becomes inflames and irritated, creating bumps. Sometimes these bumps become quite large and can be improved by using topical steroids. A more common method of eliminating these bumps is pulling the ingrown hair out after each shaving, which is painful and time-consuming.
The laser is a more effective and comfortable treatment, and is similar to laser hair removal technique. This laser treatment will give long lasting results.
