Folliculitis (Ingrown Hair Inflammation)
Painful pimples, red spots, and ingrown hairs are a problem that affects thousands of people after every shave or hair-removal session. At Elekko we don’t just remove hair — we treat the cause of your discomfort, restoring your skin’s healthy appearance.
Why Is Your Skin Reacting This Way?
Mechanical Damage
Traditional razor shaving breaks down the skin’s lipid barrier. The micro-injuries become an entry point for bacteria (mainly staphylococcus), which leads to inflammation.
Ingrown Hair
A hair weakened by hair removal doesn’t have the strength to break through the skin. It starts growing beneath the surface instead, causing painful swelling and pus-filled lesions.
A Vicious Cycle
Further attempts at hair removal irritate the inflammation that’s already there. The skin becomes rough, and discoloration and scarring appear.
Electrolysis Works Differently
Many people come to us after unsuccessful attempts with laser, which didn’t deliver results on light hair or a specific follicle structure.
- Eliminating the source: we permanently destroy the hair follicle — no hair means no way for inflammation to form.
- Medical precision: we work on a targeted, point-by-point basis, inserting a thin probe exactly where the problem originates.
- For every skin phototype: we effectively remove light, red, and gray hair that laser can’t handle.
- Tissue regeneration: once the course of treatments is complete, the skin regains an even tone, and inflammation scars fade over time.

Hair grows back sparser and finer. The ingrown-hair problem is almost completely eliminated, and you stop feeling discomfort after a shower.
