Why do men need laser hair removal?

Many assume that laser hair removal treatments are strictly for women. However, men too deal with the challenges of shaving and shaping the hair on their bodies, including and specifically the hair on their face and neck.

Pseudofolliculitis barbae PFB, aka Barber Bumps

Occurring in more than 80% of black men, pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) is a condition that affects millions worldwide. Also known as barber bumps, the condition looks like red, inflamed bumps that can be quite painful.

Itching, stinging and unsightly pustules form on the skin after shaving.

The problem results when curly/coarse hairs grow back into the skin leading to redness, swelling, irritation and inflammation.

Constant shaving sharpens the ends of the hair prompting them to curve back instead of out of the skin resulting in reoccurring flare-ups.

Over time, PFB can cause keloidal scarring.

Laser hair removal treatments and PFB

Fortunately, laser hair removal treatments can help alleviate the symptoms of PFB and provide long-term relief.

When used in combination with a topical serum like Fuzz Clinic's Ingrown Hair Serum, laser treatments not only reduce the risk of ingrown hairs but also helps to improve the overall appearance of the affected skin. The laser targets the hair follicles resulting in thinner and finer regrowth and in many cases eliminating the regrowth of hair altogether.

Laser hair removal is not just for women anymore; it has become increasingly popular among men who want to get rid of unwanted hair along the beard area, front and back of the neck. Excessive back and chest hair are also popular treatment areas.
