Which method is NOT a form of temporary hair removal?

  1. Laser

  2. Shaving

  3. Tweezing

  4. Depilatories

The correct answer is: Laser

Laser hair removal is a permanent method of hair removal, as it targets and damages the hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. Shaving, tweezing, and depilatories are all temporary methods of hair removal, as they do not affect the hair follicles and hair will continue to grow back. Shaving cuts the hair off at the surface of the skin, tweezing pulls the hair out from the root, and depilatories dissolve the hair shaft. None of these methods permanently remove hair.
