— Overview —

What It Is

Razor bumps, also called pseudofolliculitis barbae, happen when shaved hairs curl back into the skin, causing inflammation, bumps, and sometimes dark marks. Laser treatment addresses the root cause by reducing the hair that drives the problem, interrupting the cycle of irritation. It is a widely used approach for razor bumps, and modern laser settings allow it to be performed safely across a range of skin tones, including deeper complexions.
