Laser hair removal for bacteria folliculitis?

Hi RobinThanks for your question! Laser hair removal can be helpful in managing bacterial folliculitis, particularly when the condition is recurrent and associated with hair follicles. LHR completely removes hair follicles and with fewer hair follicles, there are fewer sites for bacteria to infect, reducing the occurrence of folliculitis. Laser hair removal also offers a more permanent solution that doesn't require frequent skin irritation, decreasing the risk of bacterial infection. Repeated laser treatments can lead to long-term or permanent hair reduction, providing a sustained decrease in the conditions that promote folliculitis. Repeated laser treatments can lead to long-term or permanent hair reduction, providing a sustained decrease in the conditions that promote folliculitis. IPL also removes hair follicles so it would have a similar effect. IPL also has a direct mild antibacterial effect due to the light frequency. However, IPL is often less specific than laser treatments because it uses a broad spectrum of light rather than a single wavelength. This can make IPL less effective for some people, particularly those with darker skin tones or lighter hair. Both options could be extremely helpful for your condition.
