Reduce and Eliminate Shaving Bumps (Pseudo Folliculitus)

Pseudo-folliculitis, or shaving bumps, is an inflammatory condition, widespread among individuals with think curly hair. As the hair grows out of the skin, it curls and re-enters the skin. The skin reacts by becoming inflamed and irritated, creating bumps and discoloration.

We use the first FDA cleared laser, Lyra, for the treatment of shaving bumps. Prior to Lyra, dark complected and tanned patients could not be treated with a laser due to the high absorbency of light in the pigment of the skin. Lyra’s low absorption in pigment makes it an ideal and safe treatment, achieving outstanding results while maintaining the normal appearance of the skin.

Depending upon the growth cycle of the follicles when the treatment is applied, multiple treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, may be required to obtain the overall desired effect.
