Does epilar lead to permanent hair removal?

Actually, yes it did. I didn't think it would but after 11 treatments...there was no more hair to treat! It's been 6 months and I still don't have hair growth.

This product really works!!! My mom has a spa in New York and she uses both: Laser and Epilar. Some people respond better to Epilar and some have better result with Laser. She tried both on my legs so I can compare. From my own perspective I suggest getting maybe 2 or three laser sessions, you will most likely end up with hair-free patches (laser destroys hair bulbs of only those hairs that are in a "growing phase" at the time of the treatment). Then switch off to Epilar. I am an Endermologie technician so I am very much into body aesthetics. I don't perform any laser treatments nor waxing. So I am speaking from a customer perspective. My best friend was hesitant for a while thinking that I am biased, but now she can't stop thanking me for making her try.
