Laser (temporary, striving for
permanent) To date several systems have been cleared by the FDA, but
the procedures are expensive up front, and there has not been enough time to see
definitive results. So far they seem to be long-term (5-12 months?) rather than
permanent. The FDA says they cannot claim permanence, and indeed they do not
claim that. The FDA recently invented a term just for the laser claims:
"permanent hair reduction." Maybe someday.
The laser still generally works best on fair-skinned people with dark hair,
as it targets the melanin. RETURN: Hair Removal
