Ingrown hairs often occur on the legs, bikini area, face, and hairline.

A proven treatment method
Laser hair removal is a proven way to treat ingrown facial hairs and ingrown hairs on the bikini line, as well as other areas on the body because it gets directly to the root of the problem, the hair. By treating hair follicles with heat energy that renders the follicles sterile and unable to produce any more hair, sufferers can totally eliminate ingrown hairs once and for all. These treatments are normally prescribed over a series of weeks, but results may be seen sooner.
