Folliculitis & Razor Bumps? Laser’s Proven Solution

If your skin is tired of fighting razors, let lasers win the war.

At PeachFuzz Laser Studio, we completely understand how frustrating it can be to deal with incessant inflammation cycles due to shaving, tweezing, or waxing, especially for melanated skin. If you’re dealing with folliculitis and razor bumps, let’s talk about a real long-term solution – Laser for folliculitis.

What Is Folliculitis—And Why Does It Affect Deeper Skin Tones More?

In a simple definition, folliculitis is a skin condition that appears as inflamed hair follicles due to shaving or ingrown hairs. It can appear as itchy red bumps, tenderness, or even pus-filled breakouts. Although this can happen to anyone, it’s mostly common among people with coarse curly or thick hair and melanated skin. This is because for dark skinned people, their hair tends to curl back into the skin after shaving, leading to irritation, scarring, and a cycle of hyperpigmentation. This is why laser ingrown hair solutions are needed to avoid inflammation.

Why Shaving & Waxing Keep the Inflammation Cycle Going

Before we dive deeper into the solutions, let’s first understand why shaving and waxing keep the inflammation cycle continuous.

Sometimes people think that their problem could be because of using slightly blunt razors, so they get new ones or switch to waxing. In reality, these short-term solutions make things worse. Shaving and waxing cause micro tears in the skin, disturb the follicles, and encourage ingrown hairs. This constant battle then leads to covering up with makeup or clothing, which traps bacteria and worsens the breakouts.

With all that said, rather than doing the same thing all over, why don’t we stop the cycle at the root? Razor bump laser removal can disrupt this and stop the breakouts before they happen.

How Laser Disrupts Hair Growth to Prevent Bumps & Breakouts

Laser for folliculitis or Laser hair removal goes beyond achieving smooth skin. It’s also about healing your skin from the inside out. At PeachFuzz Laser, we use advanced technology to target the hair follicle with controlled light energy, destroying the root without any impact on the surrounding skin. Once the root is damaged, there will be no regrowth that could lead to bumps.

Contrary to the myth that this isn’t safe for darker skin tones, ours is safe for all skin types. This is because we invested in the Nd:YAG lasers, a special laser specifically designed to bypass melanin in skin while still effectively targeting the hair follicle. It is the best laser ingrown hair solution for people of color.

Areas We Treat Most

Although folliculitis can appear anywhere on the body, most of the treatments have been around the:

  • Beard and jawline (especially for male clients and PCOS-related hair growth)
  • Bikini and Brazilian areas
  • Underarms
  • Neck and nape of the hairline

These areas are particularly prone to irritation due to daily shaving or tight clothing. However, with laser hair removal, you can get them to stay smooth, clear, and bump-free.

Post-Laser Care Must-Haves

To maintain smooth, glowing skin after your laser sessions, we recommend a simple but powerful aftercare routine using these must-haves.

  • Like Silk Shave Oil: Our in-studio favorite, this oil is perfect for your skin in between sessions or before shaving. Formulated with Aloe, grape seed oils, and tea tree, this oil calms, hydrates, and soothes your skin.
  • Aloe-Relief Gel – We recommend this as a post-laser gel to reduce inflammation and speed up your healing process.
  • Gentle Exfoliants – Do not use scrubs. Use enzyme-based or acid-based exfoliants 2-3 times a week to prevent buildup and allow hair to shed smoothly.
  • Ingrown hair serum: This is our in-house pre/post laser serum that helps to treat ingrown hair. It is curated to treat, soothe, and exfoliate your skin.

Our FuzzClinic Skincare line is specially curated with skincare products that will keep your melanin-rich skin bright, healthy, and breakout-free. So, feel free to drop in for more products that will enrich and make your skin happy.

Real Client Glow-Ups

One of our male clients came in after years of painful shaving bumps on his neck and jawline. In his words – “Getting this laser treatment is one of the best things I've ever done. I came in here, my neck was painful, I had lots of bumps, but after one treatment, it’s looking good…”

We also see countless women with PCOS dealing with unwanted chin and facial hair. For them, coming for razor bump laser removal in NYC at our Brooklyn or Long Island clinic has been a life-changing experience. Their stories always include ditching coverups, makeups, and showing up more in social settings they once avoided due to embarrassment. These experiences speak truth to our mission of not just removing hair but restoring confidence.
