If you're seeking permanent hair removal, you have several imperfect options. A number of methods have been developed that use chemicals, energy of varying types, or a combination to target the areas that regulate hair growth. Permanently destroying these areas while sparing surrounding tissue is a difficult challenge. I recommend relying on a body of published, peer-reviewed scientific evidence to ensure the effectiveness of a method.
* Permanent hair removal for most
o Electrolysis
* Permanent hair reduction for some
o Laser hair removal
o Flashlamp
* Lasting hair inhibition for many (requires continuous use)
o Prescription oral medications
o Prescription topical preparation (Vaniqa)
* Restricted methods
o X-ray (banned in the United States)
o Photodynamic therapy (experimental)
* Doubtful methods
o Electric tweezers
o Transdermal or transcutaneous hair removal
o Photoepilators
o Microwaves
o Dietary supplements
o Nonprescription topical preparations
