Takeaway
Folliculitis is a common skin condition in which hair follicles become inflamed. It's usually caused by a bacterial or fungal infection. At first it may look like small red bumps or white-headed pimples around hair follicles — the tiny pockets from which each hair grows.
The technique for eliminating unwanted hair growth involves pulsed laser radiation with the appropriate wavelength, which is absorbed by the pigment cells of the hair follicles deep in the skin. The laser energy is aimed at the hair root, while the wax and tweezers remove the root. The goal of laser treatment is to treat hair in the anagen phase.
