Razor Bumps (Pseudofolliculitis Barbae) Treatment with Aerolase Neo Elite
Razor Bumps Treatment with Aerolase Neo Elite
Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (PFB), also known as ingrown hairs or razor bumps, is an irritating condition commonly caused by shaving, often appearing in patients with darker skin types. The Aerolase Neo Elite laser selectively targets melanin in the base of the hair and follicle, as well as hyperpigmentation surrounding the lesion. Its unique 650-microsecond pulse duration, which is 50 to 500 times shorter than pulses typically used for hair removal by other laser technologies, allows the energy to pass through the skin quickly and effectively treat the condition without overheating the epidermal melanin.
How Often Should Treatments Be Performed?
3-4 treatments every 2-3 weeks is recommended for PFB.
How Does This Treatment Work on PFB (Ingrown Hair)?
Melanin is absorbed in both the hair follicle and skin, damaging the hair follicle and impeding growth while also removing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in the surrounding area, thus eliminating bumps caused by ingrown hair.
Is It Painful?
Aerolase technology sets a new standard for virtually pain-free treatment, even on darker skin types. With MicroPulse-1064 technology, the Neo Elite offers virtually painless treatment, even on darker skin types.
Patients That Should NOT be Treated Include:
- Those who are pregnant
- Those with sunburned or irritated skin in the treatment areas
- Those with unidentified skin conditions in the treatment areas
- Those taking photosensitizing medications, such as Accutane, should stop taking them six months before treatment.
- Patients using topical Retin-A should wait 2 weeks before treatment
