Summary Although the loss of scalp hair is distressing and many medical treatments focus on its restoration, the removal of body hair has been adopted since ancient times. Beauty standards, which reflect the culture of each society, have been presenting the depilated body as absolutely desirable. Through the ages various methods of hair removal have been used depending on the requirements of the individuals. In recent years, Laser and Intense Pulse Light devices have been considered as the most promising solution for excess hair growth, without excluding the efficacy of other methods to induce satisfactory epilatory results. The enzyme-based hair removal method has received little recognition even though experimental and clinical data support its efficacy to provide long term or even permanent epilation. The present review presents these data and examines the likelihood of considering the aforementioned method as ideal.
