Remove back hair

Back hair in men

The Back hair belongs to the normal part of the hair in men. During puberty, but also later, a large part of the body hair develops on the face, armpit, chest, stomach, genital and also back area.

During the puberty will that Vellus hair (Downy hair), which is not yet very heavily pigmented (relatively light) and is even softer, in Terminal hair converted (more pigmented and thicker). This means that the parts of the body that were previously only slightly hairy are now denser and more overgrown.
Basically, the thickness of the hair depends on the Hormonal status of the man or the woman. When a higher concentration of male Androgens (Sex hormones) is present, there will be more pronounced hair. The concentration of male sex hormones varies from person to person - that's why it is expressed in the puberty takes place differently early and strongly, i.e. depending on when more male sex hormones are released. The development of hair on the different regions can also take place intra-individually (in a person) at different times; while e.g. the beard growth between the 14. and 18. When the age of a year begins, this often only happens with the back hair between the 20th and 30th Age.

Not every man develops hair on every part of the body; e.g. have not all men Back or chest hair and beard growth can also differentiate. However, this is not solely an indication of the amount of Sex hormones which are distributed. Another important factor is the genetic makeup of the individual.

Even more pronounced back hair in men is not a disease from a medical point of view. As mentioned above, the thickness of the hair can vary Sex hormone levels or be influenced by other genetic factors.

For many centuries one was valid thick hair (also on the back) as a sign of masculinity. In the last few decades, however, the concept of Hairlessness, also enforced with men. In addition to the hairlessness in the armpit, chest and genital area, the back also represents a zone in which hair is viewed as unaesthetic in more and more social areas. This is conveyed, among other things, through films, advertising and other media, which are certainly reinforced by the younger generations be used. This is one of the reasons why the perception that back hair is unaesthetic is a phenomenon among younger adults.

There is an ever-growing division that men have set themselves as a target group for hair removal. In addition to a wide variety of products for home use (razors, epilators, creams and wax), methods are also offered that are professional, such as permanent hair removal by laser.

Back hair in women

The Back hair in women In contrast to men, this does not represent a normal state, whereby differences between individual groups of people should also be mentioned here.
In some regions it can be seen more often that women also have light to more pronounced hair.

However, if there is a generally increased hairiness in a woman, one can do one Hirsutism speak.
There is a distribution pattern of increased hair which corresponds to the distribution in a man.

Antibacterial aftershave balms can also help disinfect and soothe the skin. This is especially true after hair removal. One example of this is the Dr. Severin Body After-Shave Balm from the pharmacy.

The strength of the expression can be determined by the Ferriman-Gallwey Index being represented. The hair will grow eight body parts and depending on the thickness of the hair one to four points given. If at least 6-8 points will then be achieved by Hirsutism spoken to the appropriate person.

If the hair growth on the back reaches such an extent that the woman concerned has been shown to cause psychological suffering (medically diagnosed hypertrichosis or hirsitimus), then treatment for hair removal may be covered by the health insurance fund. Above all, the fact that in our circles, (the western world) social and cultural pressure is exerted on women, that they have to be hairless in regions apart from the head, can lead to enormous psychological problems - especially if in addition to normal hair growth there is hair in other places such as the back.

Back hair in children

In children, there is pronounced hair on the back not normal.

Owing to Dysregulation in the hormonal balance there may be premature and excessive production of Sex hormones come so the child in an early puberty got. In this case, however, other symptoms would also show up, such as early breast growth (Thelarche), Pubic hair (Pubarch), Onset of the menstrual period (Menarche) and Growth spurts. Whereby the hair growth on the back but with an overproduction of male sex hormones (testosterone) would occur - consequently an affected girl shows no signs of premature "feminine development".

Another reason can be Newborn in the lack of loss of the Lanugo hair lie. This is the hair that intrauterine (in the uterus) grow on the child's skin. These usually disappear before the birth and will be replaced in the course of the next time by the vellus hair (the vellus hair remains until about puberty). The presence of Lanugo hair after giving birth Hypertrichosis lanuginosa called.

In children before puberty, it cannot be ruled out that there is a fundamental (genetically determined) increased hair growth, which can also be seen on the back. Depending on the region and culture, different ideas about what is normal also dominate here.

Hair removal

One removal method that can be used at home alone is that shave the back hair. Special razors for this can now be found on the Internet, the one Arm extension included, or arm extensions to buy individually so that the user can reach all relevant areas on the back without outside help. However, this method is not permanent. over few weeks the back hair usually grows back.

In addition, a Epilator be used. The hair is not cut off, but torn out with the roots. With this method, the user usually remains hairless at the corresponding part of the body for several weeks.

Furthermore can also Depilatory creams be used. It is a cream that contains basic components that "dissolve" the hair on the skin. This method leads to hairlessness for something 1-2 weeks.

Often times too Cold wax strips used. These are stuck to the skin and pressed tightly and then suddenly torn off - in the process, the Hair torn out.

The Laser or wax method on.

With the wax method, hot wax is applied to the back and torn off after it has hardened (including hair). If used ideally, the hot wax method does not have to be used again until after a month.

Permanent hair removal for back hair

A laser or IPL treatment is ideal for permanent removal of the back hair.

With the laser method, light of a specific wavelength is “shot” at the hair roots. The cells capable of dividing are destroyed and the hair no longer grows back. Since not all hair roots are caught directly, it takes several sessions. But even then it can happen that hair grows back. It has been proven that there is slowed down and reduced hair growth, but the complete absence of hair growth is not the rule.

In IPL therapy, the skin is not only bombarded with one wavelength, as with a laser, but with a larger spectrum of light (different wavelengths). This happens in the form of lightning. Various settings can be made here depending on the type and strength of hair growth.

Both methods are described with relatively few side effects. However, skin irritation is always possible.
