Which method is not classified as a permanent hair removal method?

Epilators are tools designed to remove hair by mechanically pulling it out from the roots, but this process is not classified as a permanent hair removal method. While they do provide longer-lasting results compared to shaving, the hair will eventually grow back. In contrast, methods like electrolysis, laser hair removal, and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) are classified as permanent hair removal methods because they aim to destroy the hair follicle or inhibit future hair growth. Electrolysis uses electrical currents to destroy the follicle, laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target and damage hair, and IPL uses broad-spectrum light to achieve similar results. Each of these methods works towards providing a long-term reduction in hair growth, making epilators distinct in that they offer temporary results.
