Which method of hair removal is considered temporary?

Electrolysis
Laser
Sugaring
Waxing

The correct answer is: Laser

The correct method of temporary hair removal is actually sugaring or waxing, rather than laser treatment. Sugaring and waxing remove hair from the root but do not provide permanent results; hair will eventually grow back over time. These methods can last from a few days to several weeks depending on the individual's hair growth cycle. Laser hair removal, on the other hand, is a method aimed at providing longer-lasting results by targeting the hair follicles to inhibit future growth, but it is not considered a temporary method. Therefore, while it's common to seek methods that last longer, sugaring and waxing are the methods that are widely recognized as temporary hair removal options in the industry.
