For Ingrown Hair
An ingrown hair is a hair that, out of its follicle (a small duct that goes to the surface of the skin), does not have the strength to pierce the dermis. It occurs if the skin is too thick or the orifice has become clogged “. It then deviates from its natural path and continues to grow under the skin, twisting in this small channel. Ingrown hairs can appear all over the body, but usually they occur mainly in the legs, the jersey in women, and the face and neck in men. These are the areas most subject to shaving or hair removal, and those where there is more friction with clothing, which thickens the skin. They can cause irritation, redness, itching, pain, and in case the ingrown hair is poorly cared for, infections and swelling.
Several Factors Favour
Ingrown Hair
Certain types of hair: it is mainly the fine, curly, deformed or corkscrew hairs which are mainly the origin of the ingrown hair.
Temporary hair removal: shaving, waxing, and mechanical hair removal will very often break the hair or make it grow thinner and thus either deflect it or weaken it.
Poor hydration: with poorly hydrated skin, the hair will hardly come out of the hair follicle.
An accumulation of dead cells: an accumulation of cells at the exit of the hair follicle obstructs the passage of the hair.
Laser operates by removing the hair pigment called melanin. By heating the melanin located at the root of the hair, the laser burns somehow the root of the hair. Less hairs contain melanin, the less effective the laser. This is why laser hair removal or intense pulsed light is effective especially on dark hair and those in growth phase (also called growth phase), because the base of the hair is pigmented only in phase growth. The laser must therefore be applied during this phase. The hairs growing phase represent on average from 15% to 20% of the hairs, so only this 15% to 20% is destroyed after a first session of hair removal. It takes several sessions to hope to depilate an entire area and it is important to space the sessions of 2 to 4 weeks so that the hairs are in their growth phase.
