What Is Folliculitis?
Folliculitis is a common skin condition where there is inflammation to the hair follicles. Folliculitis can appear as small red bumps, pus-filled sores, or white-headed pimples around the hair follicle. Other symptoms can include itching, burning sensation, tenderness, and pain to the affected skin.
How to treat it
Folliculitis can be caused from a bacterial infection such as Staphylococcus aureus, or fungal infections. A consultation with the doctor is recommended to determine the type and if prescribed creams or pills are needed to control infection.
Available Treatments
LED [Blue] Light Therapy
Light therapy is often used to treat acne and kill bacteria, fungi, or viruses on the skin. This procedure can improve the symptoms for deep folliculitis.
Laser Hair Removal
This procedure can help reduce folliculitis by eliminating the hair follicle altogether, therefore the follicles will not become inflamed or infected.
Treatment Benefits?
Unlike other anti-aging treatments such as chemical peels, laser therapy, and dermabrasion, LED Light Therapy does not cause any burning. It can assist in treating acne as a whole and promoting skin regeneration. The benefits of Laser Hair Removal are that it is a permanent solution that helps to eliminate the hair follicle at the root. Removing the hair altogether helps to diminish skin conditions such as folliculitis
