Can I Get Rid of Razor Bumps with Laser Hair Removal?

It is estimated that up to 80 per cent of men suffer from razor bumps at some point during their lives. For this reason, one of the most common questions that we usually receive from many of our potential clients at Dermatology Consultants of South Florida is how to deal with razor bumps. We have been recommending laser hair removal as the best razor bump treatment because of its wide range of advantages. Below is more information on why we recommend laser hair removal.
What Are Razor Bumps?
Razor bumps are small bumps or inflammation on your skin. They develop after shaving, especially when ingrown hairs grow into the skin instead of expanding outward. Some of the common causes of this condition include shaving in the wrong direction, pulling the skin when shaving, shaving too close to the skin, or not replacing the shaving blade regularly.
Laser Hair Removal
As stated earlier, the best razor bump treatment that we recommend is laser hair removal. Dermatologists use light beams to destroy hair follicles, which is the source of hair growth. Damaging the hair follicles reduces the chances of developing those painful bumps and pustules.
Advantages of laser hair removal in treating razor bumps:
1. Most Effective 
Laser hair removal for razor bump treatment brings permanent results within two to three treatment sessions.
2. It Is Very Fast
Razor bump treatment with laser hair removal is very fast. However, the treatment time will depend on the size of the bumps and the area being treated.
3. Works Anywhere on the Body
You can use laser hair removal to eliminate razor bumps anywhere on your body including the pubic area, bikini line, chin, neck, and lower cheeks.
4. It Is Painless
This option for razor bump treatment is painless. Your technician may use ice or numbing cream to avoid any discomfort you may feel.
Other Treatment Options
You don’t have to worry if you fail to eliminate your razor bumps with laser hair removal. You can try other razor bump treatment strategies such as getting facial treatments frequently, applying cold and warm compresses and shaving the right way.
