I had 4 treatments 6 years ago and the hair is still gone. The key is making sure you go to someone qualified who has good equipment. The term permanent hair reduction derives from the FDA where a pulse of the laser can destroy 95 out of 100 active follicles. Because is was not 100%, the FDA required the term reduction in advertising. By getting 4-5 treatments, you are destroying virtually all of the follicles if it is done correctly.

I think it is completely permanent but you have to go back more than once for it to be completely gone forever. After one session I think it'll just be reduced.
