When we hear the words "permanent hair removal" we shudder with excitement. How fantastic would it be to rid yourself of unwanted body hair for all of eternity?! Pretty fantastic. But can this be a reality? I'm not convinced.
The fact of the matter is that permanent hair removal is somewhat of a myth. It's only really been in the past decade that people have been getting these kinds of treatments. Most people don't even see complete and permanent hair removal, and the ones who do have no way of knowing if the hair will grow back in twenty years from now.
What does exist, however, is permanent hair reduction. This has to do with getting laser treatments to rid yourself of hair. The way it works is the more you go, the less hair you will have. It removes hair for long periods of time, has it grow back slower and thinner. This is a great start for those of us who are holding our breath for the day when a cheap, over the counter product can deliver on the dream of permanent hair removal.
The two major options we have right now are electrolysis and laser. This is a great start. While electrolysis is said to be stronger and work faster than laser, laser is cheaper and is said to reduce hair from between 40% - 80%. This is great news if you fall around the 80%, but a little disappointing if you're around the 40%. The great thing about laser hair removal is definitely that it's becoming available for home use at a fraction of the cost for treatments in the salon. While this won't help you achieve permanent hair removal, it will stay by your side as long as you need it and overtime you will be able to achieve great results!
In my next article I'll be reviewing at home permanent hair removal products. There are three, specifically, that I will be talking about including the No! No!, Tria, and Silk'n. I have two out of these three products that I have tried at home and will give you a thorough review of both, and I have a sister who used the third so I'll be able to review that one honestly, as well. All of these products are afforable when you compare them to what you would be paying over the years for shaving and waxing, and I think they're all better options than non permaent hair removal.
Thanks for reading and come back soon for more information and reviews and opinions about permanent hair removal.

Electrolysis and Laser are the two great options of removing unwanted hair. But as I heard that Permanent Hair Removal is now one of the most common ways to get rid of unwanted hair, and done right, can definitely provide permanent hair removal. And the biggest advantage of laser hair removal is the freedom of getting hair removed from different body parts.
