BREEJ Technologies recently made history by redefining the cause of Shaving Bumps and Launched the World's Most Advanced Shaving Bumps Treatment System for Facial Bumps; Ingrown Hairs; Back of Head Bumps, Bikini Area Bumps.
BREEJ Technologies disagrees with the widely held view that Shaving Bumps are caused by “in-grown” hairs – wiry, curly hairs that curl and grow back into the skin.” This concept of “in-grown” hairs has led to a lot of poking & probing of the shaved area with tweezers often further aggravating the problem. BREEJ discourages this practice as the additional trauma can lead to infection, hyper pigmentation and significant skin damage.
IT IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE HAIR OUTSIDE THE SKIN TO CURL AND GROW BACK INTO THE SKIN [CONTRARY TO WHAT HAS BEEN CLAIMED BY MANY!]
BREEJ postulates that “Shaving Bumps are Primarily caused by Trauma from Shaving, resulting in inflammation of the shaved area manifested as “bumps” as the body reacts to the trauma, compounded at times by Bacterial/Fungal Infections. Induction of Melanogenesis [production of new melanin] by Irritated keratinocytes during shaving produces additional inflammatory mediators exacerbating the condition [this is the main reason why men of color with higher levels of melanin have a higher incidence of shaving bumps]”
Ingrown Hairs
Ingrown hairs [more appropriately referred to as entrapped hairs] result when existing shaving bumps block the opening of the hair follicles on the skin forcing the normally growing hairs to grow into the existing bumps [hence the name ‘ingrown hairs’]. Shaving Bumps precede ingrown hairs and as such ingrown hairs are NOT the cause of shaving bumps
