Does IPL hair removal work for ingrown hair under the skin? (Photo)

April 9, 2016
Asked By:DONYATI in Algeria

I have a coarse hair covering my whole body. I also have ingrown hair specially on my legs. My embedded hairs are very deep under my skin which I can not get rid of them! I feel like the skin is closed, therefore, that hair cant get out! I also have large red pores; my hair is dark and my skin is fair. does IPL treatment help to get rid of this problem? will ingrown hair be burned if the hair shaft is still under skin while the treatment? will this lead to dark spots and dots?
