Ingrown Hair & Razor Bumps
An in-clinic treatment and at-home care kit for razor bumps, otherwise known as AKN (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae).
What Is AKN?
AKN, or Acne Keloidalis Nuchae, is the medical term for razor bumps. It’s a stubborn condition that shows up on the back of the neck, scalp or hairline, especially after shaving or cutting hair. The bumps happen when hair follicles get irritated or inflamed, leading to ingrown hairs and raised scars. If left untreated, it can cause itchiness, discomfort and even long-term scarring.
​
At Sorella Aesthetics, we understand how frustrating and persistent AKN can be. That's why we've developed a tailored treatment not only to tackle the condition but also improve your overall skin health.
In-Clinic Treatment For Razor Bumps
Our bespoke treatment plan has been designed by Nurse Danni to tackle AKN head-on. Over six sessions, spaced across a year, we’ll use a combination of extraction, exfoliation and high-frequency therapy to clear the bumps and balance the bacteria causing the problem. Each session also includes a customised chemical peel to help your skin heal.
​
Alongside your in-clinic treatment, we'll provide a detailed aftercare guide that must be followed to ensure you get the best results. To really boost your progress, you can pair these treatments with our at-home care kit too. ​
At Home Kit For Razor Bumps

​

Exfoliating Mit - Gently buffs away dead skin to prevent ingrown hairs.

How Do I Know If I Have AKN?
If you’ve noticed small, firm bumps or raised scars developing on the back of your neck, hairline or scalp after shaving or cutting your hair, you might be dealing with AKN.
The condition can also cause itchiness, redness, and discomfort, especially in areas prone to sweating or friction. If this sounds familiar, we recommend booking a consultation with Sorella Aesthetics to get a proper assessment and start your journey to clearer skin.
Who Is Our AKN Treatment Suitable For?
Our treatment for razor bumps is especially beneficial for men with darker skin tones, as they are more prone to developing AKN. However, it’s also suitable for anyone struggling with frequent razor bumps, ingrown hairs or raised scars on the back of the neck or hairline.
