Ingrown/sideways growing hair... can I prevent this? (photo)

Laser hair removal is the best treatment for ingrown hairs. It will take a series of treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser hair removal expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The simple answer to prevent ingrown or sideway growing hair is to not shave.  The are at least 3 options to do this. The cheapest over the short term is to depilatory chemicals such as Neat which remove hair chemically.  The chemical can be irritating and over the long term the cost is more than you might think.  You could go " natural" and not shave. Or finally, you could get Laser Hair Removal.

Thank you for your question jess329. I understand your concern.
IPL is a great treatment for facial rejuvenation. It can also be used for permanent hair reduction. This helps with ingrown hairs that may cause irritation. Electrolysis can also provide benefit. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
