Troublesome Ear Hair

Removing ear hair might be something you haven't heard much about. But everyone who has hair in places where they'd rather not have it knows the problem of constantly shaving, waxing, or epilating.

Are You Going for the Long-term or Short-term Solution?

If you only have a few protruding hairs, plucking with tweezers is an easy way to remove those hairs and not see them for a few weeks. But chances are you'll need to do this more and more frequently.

• Tweezers will often fail to grip the hairs properly and thus break them off instead of pulling them out at the root.

• Waxing, shaving, or using an ear trimmer are unfortunately only temporary solutions.

• The tricky part is that you can barely see it yourself, and thus can easily damage the skin.

The Influence of Hormones on Hair Growth

The male hormone dihydrotestosterone is responsible for hair growth. Changes in hormone levels affect hair growth.

Hormone levels change during puberty and as we age. As we get older, the hair follicles on the scalp don't respond well to hormones anymore, causing the hair to become thinner. In other places, the hair follicles are actually stimulated. Here the hairs become thicker and longer. The hairs on the eyebrows, in the ears, and in the nose are susceptible to stronger growth.

How to Get Rid of It

Experience the advantage of laser hair removal. Through the medical Light Sheer Diode Laser, troublesome hair growth becomes a thing of the past.

With laser hair removal, light pulses are used to damage the hair follicle. After a number of treatments, the hair will grow back lighter and thinner. And eventually, you'll be rid of those annoying dark hairs.

But How Does That Work?

The hair follicles are located in the bottom layer of the skin. From this layer, the hair grows, of which you can only see the keratinized part. New hair growth is permanently produced from the hair follicle.

To permanently remove the hairs, it's necessary to destroy both the hair follicle AND the hair root. When both are destroyed, no new hairs can be produced. The hair follicle is destroyed by means of the laser pulse. The hair serves as a conductor for this pulse.

The energy from the laser light damages the hair follicle, and no new hair can grow from it. Laser treatment is a safe, effective, and permanent treatment against unwanted hair growth.

Depending on your skin type, about 5/6 to 7 treatments are needed.
