How Does IPL Hair Removal Remove Ingrown Hair?

baran
I was told that the ingrown hair will be removed by either IPL or laser hair removal. I want to know, will IPL hair removal or laser hair removal get rid of ingrown hairs or razor bumps completely? I have a lot of very deep ingrown hairs around my bikini area, so how can IPL or laser remove them when the skin is closed? I want to know how it works. Thank you.
