No, laser hair removal has not be deemed "permanent" by the FDA. It is approved for permanent hair reduction. Many women on the board have had great success with laser and others not so much. It depends on many factors from what type of skin/hair you have to if you have your hormones under control. You will need approximately 6-8 sessions per area and will need "touch-ups" ever 6 months or so. According to The Mayo Clinic, lasers can reduce hair counts 40% to 80%. Facial hair on women is often lighter and finer than on the body, and this hair may not respond as well to the laser because it targets pigment (color) in the hair follicle.
