Yes, even if you are already experiencing ingrown hair problems, laser hair reduction is the preferred option. You should not switch back to methods like waxing or shaving, as they can worsen the issue.

If ingrown hairs are associated with bacterial infection, pustular acne, or cystic acne in the area, your doctor will manage these conditions with appropriate medications along with laser hair reduction. Overall, laser hair reduction remains the most effective and long-term solution for controlling ingrown hairs.
