Countless consumers assume "permanent" means lasting forever. Alas, that's not always the case as it's used in advertising.

For instance, a permanent wave in your hair is not really everlasting, and a permanent marker is not inevitably enduring.

It's complicated to assess a new hair removal method that claims to be enduring. Many people think that after a specified quantity of time, it's not likely that a hair will ever come again.

That's why several people, myself as well, have suggested a specific definition of "permanent." Some of these definitions seem not good enough to me. One company claims their method is permanent based on results after 8 weeks. That's absurd. Waxing can last that long, and it's been clinically proven to be temporary.

Permanent hair removal

For the purposes of hair removal, our explanation of "permanent" is being able to go a year after your final hair removal remedy without having to use one more technique of hair removal.

Remember that a year maybe not be long enough to clarify actual permanence, but several consumers would be contented to have one treatment a year.

The only method of clinically proven lasting hair removal is electrolysis. Some lasers and flash lamps have been able to accomplish permanent hair reduction, as discussed below.

Long-term hair removal

Another undefined term is "long-term" hair removal. Again, it depends on what your definition of "long" is. Our definition of "long-term" is being able to go 6 months after your final treatment without having to use a different technique of hair removal.

Your definition may be different, but I don't believe 9 weeks to be long-term. I arbitrarily decided on 5 months as a suitable definition, as most hair growth cycles will have finished in 6 months.

Hair reduction vs. hair removal

Real permanent hair removal has been accepted as the complete destruction of a hair follicle's ability to regenerate and grow hair.

Several lasers have proven permanent hair reduction in clinical studies and are allowed to make this claim by FDA. The word "reduction" adds another term that is indistinguishably defined. FDA has accepted the definition of reduction as a firm reduction in the number of coarse dark hairs.

Some laser hair removal clinics have demonstrated in clinical testing that they can reduce the size of hairs and lighten the color. In some patients, this reduction appears to be everlasting.
