How laser hair removal can help with pilonidal cysts

Isn’t it the worst when simple, everyday routines are compromised?

Have you ever been in the market for a new car?

You’re ready for an upgrade. Your current vehicle still runs fine. But it’s dated. It’s 10 years old. And you’ve been saving for the newer model.

You’re excited to test drive your potential next ride, but you realize something along the way. You need to adjust. You’ve spent the previous 10 years accustomed to the nuances of your current car.

You know the brakes. You account for the car’s tendency to veer right after that fender bender years ago.

The point is, when you’re used to how something works and never really have to think about it, making a change probably requires an adjustment.

The same holds true for the human body. No news is good news. People can go about their day without stress or worry.

But we all know things happen. And when they do, you hope you’re set up with a gameplan to remedy the situation.

Are you familiar with pilonidal cysts? These fluid-filled cysts are painful, and unfortunately their location can have an impact on your day-to-day life.

These cysts develop just above or inside the groove of the buttocks, in some cases leading to the creation of a tunnel called a pilonidal sinus.

A cyst or boil of any kind on the body is never fun and a literal pain. But the location of a pilonidal cyst makes the experience especially uncomfortable. After all, most of us sit a good part of the day.

But there are ways to address the issue, which is the focal point of a Yahoo! article.

The best treatment for pilonidal cysts is different for everyone. Some people are lucky enough to have the cyst resolve on its own after a few days.

But others require more specific treatment. Over-the-counter options are available. And in some cases following a doctor visit, surgery is the best course of action.

There’s another option that not only addresses the issue but also can prevent it from happening again in the future: laser hair removal. These cysts can form when body hair in the area gets embedded in the skin. But if laser hair removal is used to address the issue, clients will be left with smooth skin and a significantly reduced chance of a repeat cyst flareup.

How does laser hair removal work? The laser targets the follicle and compromises its growth cycle, ultimately destroying it. With multiple treatments, the hair will fall out. No need for a razor, and even more important, no more painful cysts.
