Treatments: topical medication, laser hair reduction
Pseudofolliculitis barbae is a genetically-determined condition that prevents hair from growing out properly after being shaved too close to the skin's surface. It more commonl affects people with thick curly hair.
Eventually, the natural recoil of the hair after shaving leads to inflammation in the hair follicle and may result in scarring. Medical treatment is available to treat inflammation (early bumps). Avoidance of close shaving was the only preventative measure for years, yet laser hair reduction now provides another effective approach.
Lasers that target hair do not only permanently reduce the hair but also assure that residual hair is less coarse. Both the beard area and the hairline above the neck can be treated.

| 2010-04-15 16:42:57 | The staff was amazingly friendly and welcoming. Even though they were busy, they did not get annoyed as seen in other physicians' offices. |
| 2010-04-14 11:19:33 | I have been to many dermatologists and the service here was exceptional. |
| 2010-04-08 16:25:27 | The Dr treated me as a Person, not a commodity. She talked to me so I could understand what needed to be done and what possible courses of actions needed to be taken. I enjoyed the fact that the Dr. took time to listen to me & took action considering my desires as well. |
