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.

The technique we use is similar to Laser Hair Removal and can provide a long-lasting effective relief for PFB by removing the hair follicles. And because the Lyra-i is the only laser machine FDA cleared for all skin types, it can safely and effectively be used on tanned or dark patients.
