At LaserHQ, our clients often come to us for smooth, hair-free skin; but many are pleasantly surprised to learn that laser hair removal can also help improve certain skin concerns, including acne. As laser hair removal specialists, we want to share how this treatment could be beneficial if you struggle with breakouts.
The Link Between Hair Removal and Acne
Acne is often triggered by blocked pores, excess oil, and bacteria. Shaving, waxing, or using hair removal creams can sometimes make this worse by irritating the skin or causing ingrown hairs. These ingrown hairs, known as folliculitis, can look and feel very similar to acne breakouts.
Laser hair removal works differently. By targeting the hair follicle at the root, the laser reduces hair growth and minimises the chance of pores becoming clogged or inflamed. This can, in turn, lead to clearer, calmer skin over time.
What Studies Suggest
Research has suggested that laser treatments may help reduce acne by lowering the levels of acne-causing bacteria and decreasing irritation in the skin. While laser hair removal isn’t a cure for acne, many people notice their skin looking smoother and clearer in the areas treated.
