Pseudofolliculitis Barbae

More commonly known as Barber’s itch, razor bumps, hot tub rash, or shaving rash—occurs when the root of your unwanted hair becomes infected. While anyone can develop folliculitis, there are certain risk factors that increase your risk for developing the embarrassing and often painful red bumps, boils & blisters.

Let us help to prevent those angry red bumps from showing up. Avoiding shaving and waxing can help and all of the expensive antibacterial soaps and special creams can't keep your folliculitis at bay either. That’s because these methods don’t remove the underlying cause of the problem; the hair follicle itself.  

Unlike painful acne extractions at a dermatologist office or time consuming treatments like electrolysis, we can comfortably and quickly remove unwanted hair without irritation your skin. Laser treatments, on average, take less than 30 minutes, while electrolysis typically takes several hours to complete. Another great thing is that there is no downtime after a laser treatment whereas an extraction—can take 5-7 days to heal after you visit your dermatologist. We highly recommend using a topical numbing agent for a more comfortable experience.
