Laser Hair Reduction for Pilonidal Sinus Support
Hair reduction that supports your treatment plan
Dealing with recurring irritation, inflammation or hair-related concerns in the sacrococcygeal area?
Laser hair reduction around the natal cleft, used as a supportive measure alongside the medical or surgical care recommended for a pilonidal sinus. It targets the surrounding hair that can contribute to recurrence, and is not a treatment for an active sinus, abscess or open wound.
At Dermalaser Beauty Lounge in Paralimni, laser hair reduction may be used as a supportive treatment for people prone to pilonidal sinus recurrence, following appropriate medical assessment. Reducing hair in the surrounding area may help reduce one of the factors associated with hair re-entry and irritation.
Laser hair reduction is not a substitute for surgical or medical treatment of an active pilonidal sinus, abscess, infection or drainage. Active symptoms should be assessed by a qualified medical professional before cosmetic laser treatment is considered.
A course of hair-reduction sessions is usually required, with intervals based on the hair-growth cycle. Hygiene, reduced friction and following medical advice are important parts of long-term management.
- Reduces hair around the natal cleft
- Supports your existing medical plan
- Targets a known recurrence factor
- Non-invasive
Common questions
Does laser treat the pilonidal sinus itself?
No. At Dermalaser, laser is used to reduce hair growth around the natal cleft as a supportive measure. It is not a treatment for an active sinus, abscess or open wound.
Why can reducing hair in the area help?
Fewer hairs around the cleft may reduce one of the factors that can contribute to repeated irritation and recurrence. Laser hair reduction is normally used alongside the medical or surgical plan recommended for the condition.
When can laser hair reduction start?
The skin must be suitable for treatment and any active infection, open wound or recent surgery must be taken into account. Where necessary, we will ask you to obtain clearance from the doctor or surgeon managing the condition.
