I had my first Brazilian laser treatment done almost 30 days ago. Since then I've experienced a lot of itching and swelling and small raised bumps especially after I shave. Its almost unbearable. I've been to the doctor twice and all results come back negative for STD's, infections, etc. Except she did notice a large amount of white blood cells and gave me an antibiotic. I have dark hair and light skin. Also, I've noticed an increased amount of ingrown hairs since this treatment.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Redness after laser hair removal In general laser hair removal can cause temporary redness and bumps for a few days after treatment. Bumps or redness that persist for longer should be examined. Patients with frequent laser hair removal should notice less ingrown hairs, not more.

Answer: Inflammation post Brazilian laser hair removal. The greater the contrast between skin and hair colour the better the result. You are the ideal candidate Inflammation is expected post laser hair removal with redness, itchiness and mild swelling. The laser injures the hair follicle causing swelling that results in small bumps. The ingrown hairs are more likely attributable to shaving rather than the laser.

Answer: Bikini hair removal Some areas will tend to have more redness, irritation, etc. after laser hair removal than others. The bikini area is one of them. There is more humidity, sweat and chafing in the area since it is usually covered with clothing and this could be one reason for the symptoms you've experienced.I'm glad your doctor ruled out other causes. With continued sessions, you should experience fewer and fewer hairs which will result in fewer symptoms after each laser session. If this is not the case, I would seek dermatology consultation to see if something else is going on.Hope that helps.

Answer: Inflammation After Laser Hair Removal Treatment Thank you for your question. Yes, it is common to experience swelling, itchiness and redness after laser hair removal treatments. You can help soothe this with Aloe Vera gel. Try not to shave too often between treatments as it may irritate the area. As you have more treatments you should see a decrease in ingrown hairs. I recommend addressing your concerns with your treating physician. Best of Luck!
