"Riggling hair" occurs when hairs accumulate under the skin. When the hair under the skin cannot be removed, inflammation occurs around it. Due to this inflammation, bad odor, discharge and pain occur, which disturbs the patients. If left untreated, it will turn into an abscess.

It is more common in young male patients with thick and hard hairs. It especially affects the coccyx area. The hairs that cause inflammation under the skin may not be able to reach the surface of the skin and may be hairs that have turned inside, or there may be hairs that fall from the back and hips, come to the tailbone and settle under the skin.

Even if you are treated for ingrown hair, the probability of recurrence is very high. For this reason, the entire area must be cleaned of hair in order to prevent ingrown hairs from recurring. With the current technology, the best way to remove hair is laser hair removal. People with ingrown hairs should definitely remove the hair in the area with laser epilation. Thus, there will be no more ingrown hairs. In case of ingrown hairs, laser epilation should be applied to both the hair in the coccyx area and the hair on the back and hips. Because, in ingrown hairs, it is necessary to prevent the hairs falling from the back from coming to the coccyx and settling under the skin there.

The most suitable laser for patients with ingrown hair is the alexsandrite laser. Because the hairs that cause ingrown hairs are thick and hard hairs. Alexsandrite laser is more effective on thick and hard hair.

Epilation sessions are performed with the Alexandrite laser. It takes 6-10 sessions for the hairs to disappear completely, depending on personal characteristics. However, from the first session, the probability of recurrence of ingrown hairs decreases. Because from the first session, the area will be completely clean, there will be no hair that will cause ingrown hairs. For this reason, we recommend that our patients suffering from ingrown hairs have laser epilation to prevent recurrence of ingrown hairs.
