Brief Answer:
Laser will be effective in permanent hair reduction of face & body

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
For permanent hair reduction of the entire body laser will be effective but electrolysis won't work in cases of complete hair reduction of face and body.
Moreover laser will yield good results in persons with fair skin and dark hair.
There are no other medicines or procedures that can lead to permanent hair reduction.
