The Truth About Permanent Hair Removal

Even if you've done just a superficial search about hair removal, you've come across information that suggests, no - flat out states, that there are two types of hair removal: Temporary hair removal and, Permanent hair removal.

You may have gone so far as to research which is which and found information that states -

Temporary hair removal methods include:

Tweezing/Plucking
Shaving
Depilatories
Threading
Sugaring

And

Waxing, considered to be, "the longest lasting temporary hair removal method".

And that Permanent hair removal methods include:

Electrolysis
Laser Treatments
Flashlamps/Intense Pulsed Light, (IPL)
Radio Frequency Technology
Oral Prescription Medications

And

Topical Preparation Prescriptions

These are all methods using either different types of energy or chemicals, or even a combination of both, that have been developed to damage or disable follicles, which regulate hair growth. But not a one of them is capable of permanent hair removal.

Permanent hair removal has been defined as completely destroying the ability of a hair follicle to regenerate and grow hair.

Even with electrolysis, which has been cited as, "The only method of clinically proven permanent hair removal", with hundreds of scientific articles published in medical literature stating that hair removal by electrolysis is permanent - There's also scientific evidence that regrowth has occurred because a new root cell was formed in the same area.

Even with laser treatments, which have long been touted as a less painful permanent hair removal process than electrolysis, "semi-permanent hair removal", is the latest marketing term used in the salon industry to describe laser hair removal results. Because, at least here in the United States, it's illegal to claim that laser treatments provide permanent hair removal.

And even though some lasers have been able to reduce the size of hairs and lighten the color in some patients, and this reduction has lasted a long time, it still can't be called permanent.

Maybe the problem is people believe "permanent" means forever. That's understandable as a connotation, but not as an actual definition, which is: "Existing or remaining in the same state for an indefinitely long time".

The truth is - In context of hair removal methods, six months to a year IS considered permanent because it's such a long time. Most people would love to be able to go even six months without having to use any form of hair removal. But to expect hair to remain gone after six months, without any type of on going hair removal, is not realistic because the growth cycle of a hair is complete after six months.

If you continue with your research, you'll discover what millions of people already have - That if you use any form of hair removal long enough, eventually your hair weakens and becomes softer and hardly noticeable. Of course, by that time it may also have something to do with the fact that as we age, our hair growth slows down and eventually thins out all together ...

In the meanwhile, you should hear what Jeremiah Deets from Buffalo, New York has to say about keeping hair removed permanently and that with the slightest effort, might very well keep you permanently satisfied.
