What Causes Ingrown Hairs?
Ingrown hairs commonly occur after shaving, waxing or other hair removal methods that leave sharp hair tips beneath the skin surface. Curly or coarse hair types are particularly prone to becoming trapped and growing inward.
Areas frequently affected include the face, neck, underarms, bikini line and pubic region. Without proper removal, ingrown hairs can become painful, inflamed or develop into ingrown hair cysts.
Which Areas Can It Treat?
We provide facial ingrown hair removal, ingrown pubic hair removal and treatment for ingrown hair removal on face and other body areas prone to irritation.
Deep ingrown hair removal may be recommended when repeated inflammation or cyst formation occurs.

Legs & Thighs:

How It Works
At rtwskin, we blend expert removal with guidance for prevention:
- Assessment: A clinician evaluates your skin, identifies infection signs, and chooses the best ingrown hair laser removal or manual method.
- Extraction: The skin is sterilised and the hair is released using a fine sterile tool. We also offer ingrown hair cyst removal for more serious cases.
- Long-term Care: Persistent issues are often addressed using Laser Hair Removal or Electrolysis, designed to stop the hair from returning inward.
- Aftercare Advice: You’ll receive guidance on shaving, exfoliating, and caring for your skin to prevent further ingrown hair removal on face or body issues.
Laser hair removal for ingrown hairs works by targeting the hair follicle, reducing future hair growth and preventing hairs from curling back into the skin.
Laser hair removal ingrown treatment is considered one of the most effective long-term solutions compared to temporary methods such as shaving or waxing.
