While the goal of hair removal is to feel more comfortable, achieve smoother skin, and look better, ingrown hairs can hinder these desired results.
When it comes to battling ingrown hairs on the body, laser hair removal emerges as the most effective solution. Commonly affected areas include the face, neck, inner thighs, buttocks, bikini line, and lower legs.
Ingrown hairs can be caused by any hair removal method, such as waxing, shaving, epilating, or threading, regardless of the body area. Coarse hair is more prone to ingrown hairs, as the hair follicles struggle to emerge through the pores and continue to grow beneath the skin’s surface, leading to infection and the formation of unsightly spots.
The most effective way to address ingrown hairs is to opt for laser hair removal, which targets the hair at the root. This gradual process reduces the number of hairs and subsequently minimizes the formation of ingrown hairs. Between sessions, the laser damages the hair roots, slowing down growth and often resulting in finer hair that is less likely to cause ingrown hairs.
If you have fine hair, it’s best to book a consultation to determine whether laser hair removal is suitable for you.
While exfoliation can help remove dead skin and alleviate ingrown hairs, it’s crucial not to over-exfoliate, especially for individuals with darker skin types, as it may cause pigmentation and increased irritation.
For those experiencing ingrown hairs or spots on the face, wearing oil-free Factor 50 sun cream is essential. Constant inflammation from exposure to UV sun rays can contribute to pigmentation issues.
Book a free consultation at one of our three central clinics to have an expert assess your condition and determine the most suitable treatment. Laser hair removal alone often resolves pigmentation issues for many clients. However, for those with scarring or persistent pigmentation, we offer alternative skin pigmentation treatment solutions.
Our range of solutions includes Obaji hydroquinone for body pigmentation, Picosure or Picoway for facial and selected body area pigmentation, and scar removal options like the CO2 Laser Resurfacing, ICON laser or Dermapen micro-needling. Nevertheless, the primary focus remains on addressing the root cause by eliminating the hairs.
During your consultation, a skin test will be conducted to determine your suitability for laser hair removal. If deemed appropriate, you can schedule your first session just 48 hours later. It’s essential to commit to laser hair removal sessions before shaving the treated area.
Pulse Light Clinic boasts four laser hair removal clinics in London, with two located in the heart of the city, just a few minutes away from Monument and Liverpool str. stations. The third clinic is situated on Tottenham Court Rd. Our fourth clinic is at Marylebone, only three min away from the station.
Laser hair removal is the deliberate removal of body hair & ingrown hair removal using the technology of laser. Hair generally grows all over the human body, some fine and barely noticeable, with other areas having thicker, more prominent hair.
Laser hair removal uses laser light pulses to selectively destroy hair follicles by targeting the melanin (colour) in them. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser’s light pulse, which damages the follicle enough to significantly retard hair regrowth. The laser delivers an intense beam of light, which is absorbed by the hair follicle whilst the surrounding tissue remains unaffected.
The short answer is no, don't pull any ingrown hairs. Usually, ingrown hairs develop a spot with pus which indicates infection. It's better not to touch the spot because first will create scarring and pigmentation on the area, plus it will probably infect the surrounding skin. It is better to avoid shaving the area and keep it clean until your next laser hair removal session.
Ingrown hairs are caused by excessively curly hair curling back on themselves or the buildup of dead skin where weak hair is not strong enough to push through.
It can also be due to the hair being removed incorrectly from waxing and shaving. The most common areas for ingrown hairs are seen on the bikini area, chin/beard and legs.
Laser hair removal can help with ingrown hairs by reducing the amount of hair that is growing and preventing the hair from curling back into the skin or build up of dead skin. We do advice exfoliation to help with dead skin removal.

Developing ingrown hairs doesn't indicate a dangerous condition, but they can be painful. However, if the ingrown is left untreated, it could create a cyst and hyperpigmentation on the skin surface. Treating with a laser will eliminate them drastically from the first sessions.
Ingrown hair is a condition wherein the hair curls back or grows sideways into the skin. It may or may not be accompanied by an infection of the hair follicle or razor bumps. They most commonly appear in areas of the skin that have been waxed or shaved such as the legs or pubic area but they can appear anywhere.
