We got talking to Dr Batul Patel, medical director and Dermatologist, The Bombay Skin Clinic, to talk about this. She says, The most common type of ear hair is the one that grows from the edge of the ear canal outwards. Hair also grows along the edges of the outer ear. Ear hair has a direct genetic inheritance pattern. Excess hair on the ears can result in infection of the hair follicle which can be painful. In some cases, when the hair touches the eardrum it may cause ringing in the ear also called tinnitus. Long hair on the ear doesn t give a groomed look and may feel aesthetically unpleasant.

There are many ways to get rid of ear hair, some simple things that you can do at home like trimming, tweezing etc. However, if you want to get rid of those unwanted hairs opting for a laser treatment is better. It is painless and can help you get rid of hair forever. Here she explains the various methods and why laser treatment is still the best.

Trimming: This one can do all alone. Use a battery operated lightweight trimmer with a skin guard twice or thrice a week depending on the growth of your hair. Stand in front of the mirror while doing this so you don t harm yourself. But avoid using sharp scissors as any cuts can lead to permanent scars on your ears.

Hair removal creams: Even though using depilating creams seems like an easier option it can lead to itching and can make the treated areas highly sensitive. Also, there s a risk of pushing the cream deep into your ear canals which can potentially damage the sensitive skin inside. Read if laser hair removal really helpful.

Tweezers: Using tweezers is easy. But this method of hair removal is very time consuming and can be very painful. Also, there s a risk of damaging your hair follicle which can lead to infection.

Why laser removal is better

This is a cosmetic procedure. It is the best way to get rid of the unwanted hair. The laser hair removal device is a laser medical device that emits a laser beam of wavelength 810 nm which targets and destroys the hair follicle without damaging the skin. Before the procedure, the hair is shaved using a razor followed by an application of a cold jelly. The laser handpiece is then placed directly above the ear followed by the emission of a laser shot which is generally painless depending on the laser used. It needs to be done once a month and typically requires 6 to 8 treatment sessions for the hair to disappear. An interesting fact to note is that this works only on black pigment hair, so if you ve grey or white hair you will not be able to laser them away.
