PFB (Aerolase)

Service Description

Pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) – the painful cycle of ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and dark marks – is treatable with the Aerolase® Neo Elite at Skinsation Aesthetics in London, Ontario. This advanced 1064-nm laser delivers gentle, high-energy pulses that bypass the surface to calm inflammation at the follicle, reduce acne-causing bacteria, and release trapped hairs without damaging surrounding skin. Because the Neo’s energy is delivered in micro-pulses, treatments are comfortable and safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper tones prone to PFB. Expect visible relief in texture and redness after the first session, with progressive fading of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and fewer new bumps forming over a recommended series of 4–6 visits, spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Sessions take 15–30 minutes for the beard and neck, require no downtime, and can be performed year-round. Best results come with smart grooming: shave with a single-blade or guarded trimmer, avoid plucking and waxing, and keep the area hydrated between treatments. Please arrive freshly shaved (within 24–48 hours) and free of active irritation, retinoids, or sunburn. Whether your bumps appear along the beard line, under the chin, or on the neck, Aerolase helps you return to smooth, even-toned skin—and the confidence that comes with it.
