Vaniqa Cream For Facial Hair: Facts You Should Know

By Mike Jones_

Vaniqa cream, the first topical prescription for women with unwanted facial hair, came on the personal care scene in the year 2000 after exhaustive testing and clinical trials to meet with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval.

Just exactly what is Vaniqa cream?

Vaniqa is the brand name for a cream containing 139mg/g of eflornithine hydrochloride. It took the name “eflornithine hydrochloride 13.9%” and was sold under the brand name – Vaniqa.

The pharmaceutical industry developed this drug into a cream which can stop hair growth.

How is it used?

Simply massage the cream into the facial area you want to treat, for example, the upper lip. Do this twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.

You should wait for the cream to dry before you use any other cosmetics on the facial area.

What does it do?

This cream helps to disable the mechanism for hair growth in the hair follicle. It is not a depilatory, so don’t expect Vaniqa to actually remove unwanted hair. It helps stop it from growing.

This cream is a hair growth retardant. It slows hair growth, reduces it, thus making hair removal sessions using waxing, sugaring, tweezing, and threading easier and less frequent.

When will I see results?

Although everyone is different, a fair average seems to be a reduction in hair growth after six to eight weeks if the cream is used twice a day. Give it six months using patience and persistence before you make a final decision on how effective it is.

Are they any side effects?

Although this cream is available on prescription only, it has passed extensive safety tests and been through many clinical trials in order to get the approval of the FDA.

The only side effects reported were irritation on the skin, a little swelling or redness, on the part of just a few who participated in the tests.

What is the success rate?

In the clinical trials, around 58% of the women who used it reported a decrease in hair growth. This means a fairly large proportion did not see a difference. Hence, Vaniqa may not work for everyone. The idea is to try it and see for yourself as each individual is different in the way they respond to medications.

Are there any limitations?

Yes, this cream is intended only for women. Also young females under 12 years of age should not use it.

There is not enough data to prove Vaniqa cream is safe for pregnant or nursing women so women should be aware of that.

To summarize: For women concerned about unwanted facial hair, Vaniqa cream could be just what they are looking for. If they prefer to do their own hair removal sessions at home using tweezers, or waxing and sugaring pastes and strips, Vaniqa cream is an ideal complement as it reduces actual hair growth.

Why not try it and see if you are part of the 58% group who found it reduced hair growth for them.
