A similar problem occurs when a hair
acquires a very sharp finish that pierces the surface
skin in the “wrong” place and begins to grow beneath it, instead of
in order to grow as usual – vertically upwards.

stick out in different directions.
The result of such an abnormal growth is education.
on the surface of the skin is a small bump, or even rather, a sac, in
which is seen growing hair. (If he has
a twisted view, meaning the problem has been around for quite some time, and
all this time, growth continues under the top layer of skin).

Alternative and safe ways
Laser removal is the way in which
specialist not only reduces the amount of unwanted hair, but also
prevents them from growing, because the hair is completely removed,
accordingly there is no sharp end that leads to
the problem. The laser removal procedure itself does not take much
time and recommended for owners of hard and dark hair.
Electrolysis – a way that destroys
hair follicles and eliminates unwanted hair forever.
The procedure is very time consuming, with repeated sessions. But it fits
owners of any hair and can expose any area
skin.
In conclusion, I would like to note that no matter how you remove
was chosen by a man – in any case it is a “stress” for hair and
the surface of the skin, which can lead to unwanted growth.
To overcome this “stress” you definitely need to use
special emollients, moisturizers and exfoliating cosmetic
products and creams that will prepare the treated surface for
impact and smooth out its effect.
