Will laser hair removal target ingrowns as well or should I consider other options? (photos)

Energetica
Hello. I started laser hair removal a few months ago. I’ve had two sessions and have noticed that my hair barely grows anymore but my ingrown hairs are still there. I started exfoliating with glycolic acid about 3 weeks ago and still haven’t noticed a difference. Will the ingrown hairs go away with more treatments and exfoliating or will I have to try something else? I have really thick dark hair. I feel like I’ve wasted my money.
