Is laser hair removal permanent rather than lasting for 1 or 2 years?

Here at Biospa at Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, we use the Gentle Max Pro for hair removal. A highly concentrated beam of light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles, which creates the destruction of numerous follicles at a time. Depending on hair color and skin type, With a single treatment 15-20% REDUCTION is seen.

LASER hair removal is best described as permanent hair reduction.  In some individuals, certain areas such as a women's legs or underarm area can have permanent reduction in hair.  Other areas, such as female facial hair or male back's may require multiple sessions on an ongoing basis to keep hair from regrowing.  Even though for those individuals laser hair is not "permanent', it still maintains a high satisfaction rate as the type of hair is often changed to a finer hair and the overall amount of hair is dramatically reduced with a full series of treatments.

Laser hair removal is designed for the permanent reduction of unwanted hair. Therefore, it is permanent but because hair in a single area grows at different rates the technology is only designed to target actively growing hair, you'll need more than one session to achieve desired results.
