There are two options available to treat this problem. The first is called epilation. That's a fancy word for plucking. The second is cauterization of the lash follicle. In this procedure the doctor places a very fine diameter needle at the base of the offending eyelash and then slides the needle down the shaft of the lash until it reaches all the way to the follicle (where the lash grows from). The needle then cauterizes and kills the hair follicle. This is a permanent solution to the problem and works the majority of times. Sometimes though it has to be repeated. Be aware that this procedure is NOT comfortable. Hope this helped.

Sorry. The only treatment is plucking.

An ophthalmologist might treat this with epilation
