Are hair removal creams for beards harmful over time? also, can some creams prevent future hair growth from root damage?

Beard hair: Read the labels carefully on the hair removal creams. The creams are designed not to permanently affect the root unlike the laser systems. No No hair removal uses heat to weaken the follicle and generally leaves the roots unaffected.
