Which method of hair removal is considered semi-permanent?

Waxing is considered a semi-permanent method of hair removal because it removes hair from the root, resulting in a longer-lasting effect compared to methods like shaving, which only cuts the hair at the surface. While waxing can provide smooth skin for several weeks, the hair eventually regrows since the hair follicles are not permanently damaged.

In contrast, methods such as threading and shaving are temporary; threading only removes hair from the surface level, and shaving does not affect the follicle at all. Laser hair removal, while highly effective and can lead to permanent hair reduction over time, is not classified as semi-permanent because it aims to significantly reduce hair growth through the destruction of hair follicles.
