Permanent hair removal involves several imperfect options. A number of methods have been developed that use chemicals, energy of varying types, or a combination to target the areas that regulate hair growth. Permanently destroying these areas while sparing surrounding tissue is a difficult challenge.
Permanent hair removal
Electrolysis
Permanent hair reduction
Laser (Does not permanently remove all hair, but does reduce the amount of visible hair)
Flashlamp (also called Intense Pulsed Light or IPL)
EpiLight (an Intense Pulsed Light device)
Lasting hair inhibition for many (requires continuous use)
Prescription oral medications
A new method of epilation is to use enzymes that inhibit the development of new hair cells. Hair growth will become less and less until it finally stops, normal depilation/epilation will be performed during that time. Products include the prescription drug Vaniqa (active ingredient eflornithine hydrochloride inhibiting the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase).

There is a product by Kalo Hair inhibitor that is just supposed to slow down hair growth, but on the bottle it says "May permanently retard hair growth" and I used it and now I have hardly any hair growing in the spots where I used it. I only used it for like a month (I got two bottles of the spray) and now my hair won't grow back there...guess that it works but I did use it exactly how the directions say which may be important. It's like $45 a bottle for the spray...I think the lotion kind is cheaper.

Chemotherapy manages to stop hair growth for a short period. I don't recommend it for cosmetic use though.
