An ingrown hair occurs when a hair shaft curls back into the skin after shaving, waxing or threading rather than growing outward through the follicle opening. This triggers an inflammatory reaction, causing red, raised bumps that can become infected.
Folliculitis refers to the broader inflammation or infection of hair follicles caused by bacteria, fungi or friction. Both conditions are particularly common in areas subjected to regular hair removal, including the bikini line, underarms, legs, beard area and back.
Ingrown hairs occur when the hair shaft cannot properly exit through the follicle opening due to the angle of regrowth, dead skin cell build-up or the hair's natural curl pattern. Shaving cuts the hair at a sharp angle that increases the likelihood of re-entry into the skin.
Shaving creates sharp-tipped hairs more likely to pierce back into the skin; waxing can also disrupt follicle direction
Naturally curly hair is significantly more prone to growing back into the skin after removal
Accumulated dead skin cells block the follicle opening, trapping the emerging hair shaft beneath the surface
Tight clothing and friction in areas like the bikini line and underarms worsen folliculitis and ingrown formation
There is no single solution for every skin. Your Skin Specialist builds a bespoke SDL Pathway using the most effective combination of therapies for your specific presentation.
At Sydney Dermal Lounge, we follow a structured four step process across all in-clinic services. Through our four-phase skin methodology, we aim for our processes to be made inclusive of all kinds of skin concerns and goals. Whether it’s a 12-month melasma pigment program, acne correction pathway, rosacea program, or other pathway to skin rejuvenation, we actively provide this methodology.
