Shaving tips that may help prevent ingrown hairs on the face include:
- Avoid repeated razor strokes over the same area
- Shave only in one direction and in the direction of hair growth
- Use a moisturizer to soften the beard/ hair before shaving or shave after showering to make shaving easier
Topical therapies: At Laser Hair Removal Miami, LLC., we offer exfoliating lotions which are plant or fruit derived (we recommend some kind of a papaya enzyme exfoliation product) . This is an ideal moisturizing and exfoliating therapy for dry, rough skin on the face and is great for areas that are prone to ingrown hairs.
In clinic therapies: For areas that are prone to ingrown hairs and are resistant to topical treatment, laser hair removal with the NdYag laser improves the problem significantly. This treatment is appropriate for any skin type especially in people of color who are more prone to this problem. This superior hair removal treatment is unique as it is safe, relatively painless and longer lasting. Unlike other hair removal procedures laser hair removal does not cause harsh side effects that other methods present, such as ingrown hairs, skin irritation or bleeding.
If you suffer from ingrown hairs, are a black male or female (African-Americans are more prone to ingrown) and live in the Miami or Miami Beach area/s, Laser Hair Removal Miami, LLC., can help you deal with this often troublesome hair condition. If you don’t live in the South Florida area, we suggest that you seek out a med spa which utilizes the CoolGlide laser technology.

Hyperpigmentation and Black Skin
People of color are a very large group, which in South Florida includes people of African and Hispanic descent. It also includes patients of mixed backgrounds who have more darkly pigmented skin. Darker skin type people represent a significant and growing group of patients seeking skin discoloration treatments also known as hyper-pigmentation skin treatments and products. This is because of the increased awareness of safe, affordable aesthetic skin products. The problem with most skin lightening products (aka skin bleaching products) is that they contain caustic chemicals. Skin Renewal Method TM has taken special precautions in addressing and treating skin of color.
People with darker skin tones are prone to certain skin problems such as spots. These spots are caused by an insult to deeply pigmented skin, such as acne, a cut, or a disorder such as psoriasis.
Melanocytes are very sensitive cells and can either stop producing color- hypo-pigmentation or produce excessive color in cases of inflammation- post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. PIH which is most commonly seen in areas where acne blemishes heal, leaving a dark spot behind. Skin Renewal Method TM developed a skin lightening system which is safe for people of darker pigment; not only is it safe to use (no discoloration of the skin) but it is very efficient in helping to even out hyper-pigmentation in dark or black skin.
