This is just wording for legal reasons. In reality a lot of hair is permanently removed but the new hair growth can make it almost impossible to have zero hair, especially in large areas like legs, back etc. A good result is cosidered getting rid of 85% of all hair in any treated area. Also every year or two a toch up treatment might be necessary.
