Is there any really permanent hair removal system, like a laser or something else?
Or they all give temporary results?

Yes, there is electrolysis. That is with a hot needle. Then there is laser. Does it hurt. Yes, to both. Permanent--somewhat. I had electrolysis some 20 years ago. Regrowth due to hormonal change. I am now getting a combination of both done Good Luck.

1. The only topical prescription medicine for reducing hair growth (that I know if) is Vaniqa. It is only for use in women, and only on the face. It has not been shown to be effective in other areas. This drug has neither been studied nor approved for use in men. 2. One of the previous answers is incorrect - laser hair removal can be performed on male privates. You can confirm this yourself - many laser hair removal clinics post their price list online, and include a variety of male "bikini" zones as part of their service offerings. 3. I would encourage you to keep exploring laser hair removal. The market has changed considerably in the last few years, and prices have come way down. On the other hand, some clinics continue to adhere to the older, higher prices. The key is to shop around your area and find the place with the best deal. Keep in mind that laser hair removal requires multiple sessions spread out over time. This is because the laser only treats hairs in one specific phase of their growth cycle. (At any given time, all of your hairs are in a variety of different phases.) Knowing that you will probably need around 6-8 sessions, you can opt to purchase a package deal, which is generally much less expensive than if you had purchased each session separately. Many clinics regularly offer promotions - either on their own or through discount services such as Groupon and Living Social. Keep and eye for them. 4. Lastly, as for your embarrassment, all I can say is that treating the bikini area is one of the more popular targets for laser hair removal. Laser hair removal technicians regularly perform this service and have "seen it all". Typically, they are very professional during the process. They can also describe what will happen beforehand, answering any questions you may have. Perhaps you might opt to start out with some other area of your body first, until you have grown comfortable with the process and your technician?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser will remove unwanted hair permanently, but you need at least 4 or 5 sessions to completely remove every hair. That is because hair grows in cycles, and there are dormant follicles under the skin that will eventually come out. As long as you keep "zapping" those hairs that come out, they will eventually dissapear completely. There is a different kind of laser used too- I cannot recall the name though. In my experience, it only burns out the pigment of the hair, it does come all off right after treatment, but hair eventually grows back out... only white. So IPL is best.
Don't even consider electrolisis, it is very painfull and it takes ages. Stick to the newer technology!

I've gotten laser and I swear by it. It takes multiple sessions for them to remove all the hair (so about three months, because you have to wait a couple of weeks each time), but it is completely worth it. It pinches a little but is not terribly painful- Plus the technician that does it can adjust the "potency" of the laser, I guess you can say, to make it stronger or weaker depending on the pain you're experiencing. Takes less time than you'd think. I highly recommend it!!

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.
Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.
Electrolysis and laser hair removal are "permanent" hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.

Laser is permanent but not 100% guarenteed. In other words, you will lose some hair, but how much varies with each person. Any place that guarantees a certain percentage, make sure you get a full refund if it is not held.
