Ingrown hairs in Montreal
An ingrown hair is a hair that doesn't pierce the dermis when it grows back. Reasons may include :
The hair is growing in the wrong direction.
The skin is dehydrated and not exfoliated, accumulating dead skin that blocks the hair.
Ingrown hairs are more common in people with curly or frizzy hair, and often appear after shaving, waxing or epilating with an electric epilator.
Causes of Ingrown Hair
Ingrown hairs usually form as a result of hair removal. Other causes include overly thick skin or blocked pores. Hair then continues to grow under the skin, causing pimples and marks. Curly or frizzy hairs are more likely to fail to pierce the skin properly. What's more, tight-fitting clothes exert pressure on the skin, preventing the hairs from coming out.
Treatment of Ingrown Hair
The most effective treatment is permanent laser hair removal in Montreal. Before treatment, it's important to shave in the direction of hair growth and to disinfect razor blades. Laser hair removal requires 5 to 8 sessions to destroy hair permanently, eliminating ingrown hairs.
