Instructions

• 1

  Ask your doctor whether laser hair removal might be a solution for you and the hair growing in your ear. Laser hair removal uses a laser to remove pigmented hair and works best on fair skinned individuals with darker hair. Laser hair removal is typically not affective on gray, blond or red hair. If you are a suitable candidate, you can count on one-third of hair being removed permanently with each session. Total removal of hair is possible within three to five sessions of treatment.

  Get a referral to a dermatologist or specialist who performs laser hair removal on a regular basis. Ask your friends for recommendations of practitioners as well. It is always best to have a few doctors from which to choose. Not all practitioners who perform laser hair removal are physicians, so it is prudent to be cautious in choosing who you see for treatments. Choosing an actual medical doctor who comes highly recommended by people you trust will help to ensure that you are not the victim of any unsightly laser hair removal mishaps resulting in permanent, unattractive scarring.

  Meet with all of your prospective laser hair removal specialists. Write down all of your questions and concerns and bring them to your appointments. Take the time to voice your concerns to the practitioner and listen to what she has to say. This should help you to determine the laser hair removal specialist with whom you are most comfortable.

  Make an appointment for your first session of laser hair removal with the specialist. It is normal to be nervous, but your practitioner should walk you through what he is doing every step of the way to help you feel more at ease.

  Attend all of your follow-up laser hair removal appointments. Remember that it will take several sessions of treatment before your ears are hair free, so it is not a good idea to skip your appointments. At the end of your treatment process, you will feel good knowing that you no longer have a problem with hair growing in your ears.
