Eliminate razor bumps and achieve smooth, irritation-free skin with advanced laser technology at StudioMD SoHo.
A Targeted Solution for Razor Bumps and Ingrown Hairs
Ingrown hairs and razor bumps can cause persistent irritation, dark spots, and discomfort. At StudioMD SoHo, our laser ingrown hair treatment provides a long-lasting and precise solution for men and women who struggle with chronic inflammation, beard bumps, and post-shave irritation. Using medical-grade Alexandrite and Nd:YAG laser systems, we can safely reduce unwanted hair while preventing future ingrown hairs from forming.
StudioMD has treated more than one hundred thousand laser procedures in the tri-state area and is recognized for delivering smooth, clearer, and irritation-free results with minimal downtime.
What Is Laser Ingrown Hair Treatment?
Laser ingrown hair treatment uses focused light energy to target and disable the hair follicles responsible for chronic irritation, inflammation, and razor bumps. By reducing hair growth in the problem area, the skin can heal, bumps flatten, and future ingrown hairs become significantly less likely. This treatment is ideal for the chin, neck, bikini line, back of the head, chest, and body areas where ingrown hairs commonly appear.
Razor bumps happen when a hair is cut at an angle and the sharp tip grows back into the skin. The skin identifies the ingrown hair as a foreign object, triggering redness, bumps, inflammation, and sometimes scarring. Men with coarse or curly hair, especially in the beard and neck area, face a higher risk of razor bumps. Women may experience them on the bikini line, underarms, or legs.
Limitations of Non-Laser Options
Shaving, waxing, tweezing, depilatory creams, and exfoliating pads may provide short-term relief, but they do not prevent the cycle of irritation from returning. These methods can sometimes worsen inflammation or trigger additional ingrown hairs.
Laser hair reduction is the most effective long-term option because it addresses the root cause by disabling the follicle itself.
Laser Ingrown Hair Treatment at StudioMD SoHo
How the Treatment Works
During your appointment, the provider applies precise pulses of laser energy to the affected area. The hair shaft absorbs the light, converting it into controlled heat that damages the follicle while keeping the surrounding skin protected. This interruption prevents new ingrown hairs while calming inflammation and allowing the skin to recover.
StudioMD uses:
Alexandrite for lighter skin types
Nd:YAG for deeper skin tones
Treatment Areas
Laser ingrown hair treatment can be performed on almost any part of the face or body. Popular areas include:
Chin and jawline
Neck front or neck back
Beard line
Scalp and back-of-neck areas
Underarms
Bikini line
Chest and abdomen
Shoulders and back
The treatment is ideal for people with chronic razor bumps (pseudofolliculitis barbae), dark spots, scarring, or painful ingrown hairs.
Number of Sessions Needed
Hair grows in cycles, so multiple treatments are required. Most patients need six to twelve sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. You will notice the hairs become finer and less inflamed after the first few treatments.

I had a few procedures done at StudioMD. I was very satisfied with the service Dr. Sadaf Qazi and her team provided. They kept me informed throughout the process. The doctor and her team was easy to reach after my surgery. I would highly recommend StudioMD.
“This place is the best! I love all the workers (especially Sophie) and felt like I was being cared for the entire time through out my journey!”

Dr. Qazi and her entire staff have warm and welcoming demeanors, a high degree of hospitality, positive attitudes, always smiling and acting with the utmost level of respect, patient care, and making each patient feel special. They focus on client comfort and take their time with each person answering any and all questions. Dr. Qazi never rushes her appointments. She takes the time to listen to every concern and is thorough in each interaction I've had with her. She gave me her personal cell number so even during nights and weekends if a concern or question arises I am able to contact her for a mini evaluation of my issue or answering of my questions. The care I've received has continued long after the procedure was completed and I am so glad that I chose her to do my tummy tuck and liposuction. The results are outstanding and she is the only one I would trust to do any cosmetic procedures going forward.

I went to StudioMD's midtown location for laser tattoo removal. Jennifer is extremely personable, she ensured expectations for the amount of sessions needed for removal as well as ensured my comfort during the treatment. I chose to purchase a package for 6-sessions, and would consider seeking other treatments from StudioMD in the future. Would definitely recommend them to others, and in particular recommend working with Jennifer.

I recently had a SmartLipo procedure with Dr. Khan at Studio MD, and I could not be happier with the entire experience. From my very first consultation to the post-op follow-ups, Dr. Khan demonstrated exceptional professionalism, skill, and care. What really stood out to me was his communication. He took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answer every single question I had (and I had a lot!), and never made me feel rushed. He made sure I understood exactly what to expect before, during, and after the procedure, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Dr. Khan's attention to detail is second to none. He was incredibly meticulous with his work, ensuring that everything was done with precision and care. I felt completely confident in his hands, and the results have exceeded my expectations. His thoroughness also extends to aftercare. He gave me clear post-op instructions, and made sure my recovery was smooth. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and takes pride in delivering excellent outcomes. If you're considering SmartLipo or any cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Khan. His expertise, communication, and attention to every little detail make him one of the best in the field. Thank you, Dr. Khan and the team at Studio MD!

I recently went into StudioMD to have a procedure done by Dr. Khan. Specifically, I wanted to treat excess fat in my abdominal area and decided to opt for smart lipo. Dr. Khan is very sure of himself as a doctor, which put a lot of my woes to the side. This was my first large cosmetic surgery, so I was extremely nervous. On the day of my procedure, I was delayed because some events were happening in the city, and Dr. Khan and his nurses were extremely accommodating. They let me take my time (I had to pee and just couldn't because of nerves until 2 minutes before surgery) and even gave me pep talks and stress balls to calm my nerves. When we got to work, it was quick and effortless. Dr. Khan allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted and even called the next day to see how I was doing. They prescribed meds that were ready for pickup immediately and even gave me additional meds that I asked for pain management just in case. One of the amazing nurse technicians even text me afterward and shared her favorite shapewear and other things to help with recovery. I know many of these things seem like, "yeah, they should do that", but I've seen a lot of practices that don't. I also felt the price was fairly affordable since I've seen similar pricing outside of NYC. I'm beginning to feel beautiful in my body again, and I am so thankful to Dr. Khan and his staff. I'll be back soon for some other small cosmetic procedures I want to keep up.

I was referred to Dr. Khan to have neck liposuction and decided to also have my midsection done to correct uneven results from another doctor. Understanding that revision work can be difficult... my expectations were low. I could see immediately after the surgery just how much he improved my situation. Dr Khan operates with the confidence of a seasoned professional. You really can't go wrong with this guy.
“I had my lipo with Dr Khan yesterday and today I can already see the desired changes in my waist and belly area ,I am happy with his performance”
Recovery
Laser ingrown hair treatment has minimal downtime. The skin may look slightly red or swollen for a few hours, similar to a mild sunburn. This temporary reaction is known as follicular edema and indicates that the hair follicles were successfully targeted.
Patients should avoid exercise, heat, and excessive sun exposure for the first twenty-four hours after treatment. Gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and daily SPF use are recommended. Treated hairs will shed naturally over two to three weeks.
Results
Most patients experience significant improvement within the first few sessions. Skin becomes smoother, less irritated, and visibly clearer. Razor bumps flatten, and the frequency of ingrown hairs decreases dramatically. With continued treatments, results become long-lasting as the number of active follicles reduces.
Laser treatment also helps improve discoloration and scarring caused by years of inflammation.

Ask About Our Financing Options During Your Consultation
Ingrown hairs recur because the hair repeatedly curls back into the skin. Laser treatment prevents this by reducing the follicle’s ability to regrow hair.
Can lasers treat all hair colors?
Laser works best on dark hair. Red, blonde, white, and grey hair cannot be effectively treated due to lack of pigment.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap. Integrated cooling technology reduces discomfort.
Is laser treatment safe for dark skin?
Yes. Nd:YAG laser technology allows safe treatment of deeper skin tones without increasing risk of pigmentation issues.
How soon will I see improvement?
Many patients notice calmer skin and fewer bumps after the first treatment, with continued improvement over time.
