Pseudofolliculitis barbae can be treated effectively by tackling irritating hair growth. By applying the most effective laser therapy using the Alexandrite and/or Nd:YAG laser, hair growth can be reduced or completely removed. This ensures that the skin is not irritated by frequent shaving or the tough irritating hairs for too long.

It is important that this effective laser therapy is used to prevent pigmentation and/or scars. If these are already present, targeted treatment can be carried out to reduce the symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pseudofolliculitis barbae

This condition often arises in (dark) men, because the hairs are stiff and curly in structure. The curly hairs tend to grow back into the skin, giving bumps and pimples as a reaction. Deeper inflammations and cysts can also occur.

The tougher hairs can also lead to irritation of the skin by frequent shaving. The shaved hairs then ‘prick’ against the sensitive skin and can thus lead to inflammation.

It is important to avoid ingrown hairs as much as possible. When shaving, consider the following tips:

  • Make sure you have a sharp razor or trimmer.
  • Don’t shave every day, but rather every other day.
  • Shave with the direction of the hair.
  • Scrub the skin regularly so that the hairs can grow out more easily.
  • Do not touch the inflammation yourself, this can lead to more serious inflammation or skin damage.
