Conditions Treated by Laser Hair Removal

Many people seek laser hair removal not just for convenience, but because unwanted hair causes real skin problems — ingrown hairs, chronic razor bumps, irritation, and the daily burden of managing excessive hair growth.

At Dermis, we use the Cutera Excel HR laser with dual-wavelength technology to treat these conditions at their root. By permanently disabling the hair follicle, we eliminate the source of ingrown hairs, razor irritation, and unwanted growth.

Whether you're dealing with hormonal facial hair, painful bikini-area ingrown hairs, or excessive body hair that affects your quality of life, our certified technicians create a personalized treatment plan for your skin type and concerns.

Common Questions About Hair Removal Conditions

What causes ingrown hairs and how does laser help?

Ingrown hairs occur when shaved or waxed hair curls back into the skin. Laser eliminates this by disabling the follicle.

Can laser treat hormonal facial hair?

Yes — hormonal hair on the chin, jawline, and upper lip responds well to laser, though maintenance sessions may be needed.

Will laser stop razor bumps permanently?

Once the hair follicle is disabled, there's no hair to cause bumps — razor bumps and pseudofolliculitis are eliminated.

Is laser safe for all skin tones?

The Cutera Excel HR uses dual wavelengths specifically designed to safely treat all skin types, including darker complexions.

What causes ingrown hairs?

The Root Cause

Ingrown hairs happen when hair is cut below the skin surface (shaving) or pulled out (waxing), causing it to grow back at an angle and pierce the skin. This leads to painful red bumps, inflammation, and sometimes infection.

How Laser Helps

Laser hair removal disables the follicle entirely, so no hair grows back to become ingrown. Most clients see dramatic improvement after just 2–3 sessions.

Hormonal Facial Hair

Hormonal Hair Growth

Conditions like PCOS, menopause, and hormonal imbalances can cause coarse facial hair growth. While laser can't change hormone levels, it effectively reduces visible hair.

Treatment Approach

Hormonal facial hair may require periodic maintenance sessions since hormones can stimulate new follicles over time. Most clients achieve significant, lasting reduction.

Razor Bumps & Pseudofolliculitis

Why Razor Bumps Happen

Razor bumps (pseudofolliculitis barbae) occur when cut hair re-enters the skin, causing inflammation. People with curly or coarse hair are especially prone.

Permanent Solution

Laser hair removal is the only permanent solution for razor bumps because it eliminates the hair that causes them. Results are often visible after the first session.
