Laser
Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (Razor Bumps)
Fewer ingrowns. Less inflammation. Smoother skin.
Razor bumps occur when shaved hairs curl back into the skin and trigger inflammation. Laser hair reduction can reduce the number and thickness of hairs that cause ingrowns—especially along the beard line and neck.

Why It Keeps Coming Back
With coarse or curly hair, close shaving can push the hair tip into the skin as it regrows. That can trigger repeated bumps and inflammation—sometimes followed by dark marks.
What Helps Most
- Reduce shaving aggression (with-the-grain, fewer passes, sharp blade)
- Control inflammation with a barrier-safe routine
- Consider a laser plan to reduce regrowth and the shaving trigger
Yes—shaving is usually fine (and often recommended before sessions). Waxing or plucking is typically discouraged because it removes the follicle target.
It varies, but many patients notice fewer bumps over a series of sessions as hair density reduces and ingrowns become less frequent.
