About Razor Bumps & Irritation

Razor bumps (pseudofolliculitis barbae) occur when shaved hair curls back into the skin, causing inflammation, redness, and painful bumps. This is especially common in people with curly or coarse hair and can lead to scarring and hyperpigmentation over time.

Laser hair removal with the Cutera Excel HR permanently disables the hair follicle, eliminating the root cause of razor bumps. Most clients see significant improvement after just 2–3 sessions, with full results after 6–8 sessions.
