Beard Bumps - Folliculitis

Pseudo-folliculitis Barbae, commonly known as shaving bumps, is a widespread problem among individuals with curly hair and dark skin. As the hair follicle grows out of the skin, it immediately curls and re-enters the skin. The skin reacts to it as a foreign body and becomes inflames and irritated, creating bumps. Sometimes these bumps become quite large and can be somewhat relieved by using topical steroids. A more common method of eliminating these bumps is pulling the ingrown hair out after each shaving, which is painful and time-consuming.

Now the LYRA can provide a long-lasting effective relief for PFB by removing the hair follicles. And because the LYRA laser is the only laser FDA cleared for all skin types, it can safely and effectively be used on tanned or dark patients.

Folliculitis is an inflammation of hair follicles due to bacterial or fungal infections. The area around hair follicles looks inflamed and acne-like, and often extrudes puss. Unlike the PFB, folliculitis can occur in all skin and hair types and is not always related to shaving. This problem can be temporary or chronic. Like with the shaving bumps, the LYRA can help. Because bacteria and fungus exist along the hair shaft, by removing the hairs, the LYRA significantly relieves this malady.
