Alexa’s story

August 6, 2013

OH! And I forgot to add the most important part! Once my wound was 100% healed, Dr. Shapiro recommended I get laser hair removal treatments on the area until the hair, even the tiny peach fuzz, was gone. This ensures no more ingrown hairs which is the most widely known theory of the cysts origin! I’ve gone for 2 treatments and it is painful, but worth it knowing you won’t have to worry about going through this again.
