ingrown hairs: Would this product help to open areas where there sre ingrown hairs so they could be removed easily?

I went to the spa today and had a facial done using this product and I asked the lady who did my facial that very same question. I get ingrown hairs on the back of my arms and I wanted to know if this product would open up my pores to release those hairs. She told me the Clairisonic Pro would do that. I haven't bought it yet so I can't tell you if it actually works from experience, but according to the spa lady, it would.

It may not work so well for ingrown hair, but it is fantastic for wood-borne splinters. At least that is what my wife testified to me about her childhood.

I would say..... No; probably not a good idea. I would guess it would be quite painful. It's better to pull the skin taut, especially when you are first using after you have been shaving, and that would be difficult.

Hey J. I could not hurt. Many years ago you could purchase this product directly at the drug stores and my Mamma would use it on just about every problem we had that was under the skin. If you have some sort of small abscess like an ingrown hair, I would think it would work. I have personally never had a reaction to this product.

I would think so. I used it for the, shall we say, most sensitive spots for a Brazilian wax. It did make a big difference but didn't take away the pain entirely. Apply it to the entire area and leave it on undisturbed for a good 45 minutes or so.

If you use it, also use a portable trimmer like the Remington MSC-140 Men's Titanium Battery Operated Foil Travel Shaver. It will give you a close cleaner shave in combination. Bump stopper 2 is always something wonderful to use everyday to combat the ingrown hairs. Also a mild facial scrub twice a day - depending on skin type. I use the Andis maybe 3 times a week, and the portable nightly before shower. No razor bumps - no ingrown hair... Hope this helps!

I don`t think you`d like the resultsI tried it there, and it shattered into little plastic pieces, soft wax strips works better on such areas

Yes i did it worked for me. It takes some time but eventually it takes it out depends on the size of the spot and the nature of it.

No; but I think this device works best when you have a surface you can apply pressure to with the device, so I wonder if if might not be ideal. It also might come down to the coarseness and length of the hair (fine and stubbly hair being easier to cut), no matter where it is on the body.

I don't see why not. I use it on my bikini area and my underarms and it works great. I use it to prevent razor burns and ingrown hairs. It can be a little drying at times but it sure does work.

I use this for my upper lip which has a mixture of light and dark hairs. It gives a really tight grip on the hairs if used correctly. In other words I would imagine it would work for side burns. (It is painful though) I haven't had any issues with hairs slipping through the springs of the Bellabe. It's fast and easy to use! I would recommend!

I realize that sometimes you need to exfoliate this area to avoid ingrown hairs. I would use a very fine pumice stone for that purpose, and not this.

Are you looking to remove them or something to sooth them? This makes a difference, yes it works on soothing and softening skin. But not for removing any scar tissue or open cuts.I hope this was helpful.

No. I bought this to remove a 1.5 week beard. It was not pleasant - it pinches a bit. Works much better moving into the beard than away from it. It leaves a stubble equivalent to about two days growth for me. A razor was necessary, but it was much easier to use because the trimmer had removed most of the beard, which reduced clogging of the razor.

Yes it would :) Just might hurt more than normal haha. I sometimes use this for my leg hairs.

Yes. That would be considered a designed use for the Braun. I use it for those little chin hairs and those fine mustache hairs we ladies often sprout as we age. It ships with different covers for the head section so you can choose the shape that works best for a particular body area. Sure, it will sting a bit the first few times you use it in a new area, but over time the hair roots seem to weaken and I no longer notice any discomfort.
