Ingrown Hair Surgery

Comprehensive Ingrown Hair Surgery at Aktif International Hospitals

Ingrown hair surgery, also known as surgical excision or removal of ingrown hairs, is a procedure performed to address ingrown hairs that have become embedded or trapped beneath the skin’s surface. Ingrown hairs occur when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells, debris, or oils, leading to inflammation, redness, pain, and the formation of small bumps or cysts. While ingrown hairs often resolve on their own or with conservative treatments, such as exfoliation, warm compresses, and topical medications, severe or recurrent cases may require surgical intervention to remove the ingrown hairs and prevent complications. At Aktif International Hospitals, we offer comprehensive ingrown hair surgery services provided by experienced dermatologic surgeons to address ingrown hair concerns and promote healthy, clear skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ingrown hair surgery, and why is it performed?

Ingrown hair surgery involves the surgical excision or removal of ingrown hairs that have become embedded or trapped beneath the skin’s surface. Ingrown hairs occur when hair follicles grow back into the skin instead of outward, leading to inflammation, irritation, pain, and the formation of papules, pustules, or cysts. Ingrown hair surgery may be recommended for severe or recurrent cases of ingrown hairs that do not respond to conservative treatments or that result in complications such as infection, abscess formation, scarring, or hyperpigmentation.

What are the benefits of ingrown hair surgery?

Ingrown hair surgery offers several potential benefits for individuals experiencing severe or persistent ingrown hairs, including:

Resolution of symptoms: Surgical removal of ingrown hairs can alleviate symptoms such as pain, inflammation, redness, itching, and discomfort associated with ingrown hair follicles.
Prevention of complications: Ingrown hair surgery can prevent complications such as infection, abscess formation, scarring, or hyperpigmentation that may result from untreated or recurrent ingrown hairs.
Improvement of skin appearance: Surgical excision of ingrown hairs can improve the appearance and texture of the skin by eliminating bumps, cysts, or lesions caused by ingrown hair follicles, resulting in smoother, clearer skin.

How is ingrown hair surgery performed at Aktif International Hospitals?

Ingrown hair surgery at Aktif International Hospitals is performed by experienced dermatologic surgeons using sterile techniques and specialized surgical instruments. The surgical procedure may involve the following steps:

Preparation: The surgical site is cleansed and prepared using antiseptic solutions to reduce the risk of infection and ensure a sterile surgical environment.
Local anesthesia: A local anesthetic is administered to numb the area and minimize discomfort during the surgical procedure.
Surgical excision: The dermatologic surgeon carefully incises the skin and removes the trapped or embedded ingrown hairs using precision surgical techniques.
Closure: The surgical incision may be closed with sutures, adhesive strips, or surgical glue to promote optimal wound healing and minimize scarring.
Post-operative care: After ingrown hair surgery, patients receive post-operative instructions and recommendations for wound care, pain management, and follow-up appointments to monitor healing and assess treatment outcomes.
