What does the treatment involve?
The treatment involves a cream applied twice a day for at least 8 weeks. The cream is called Vaniqa which contains Eflornithine.
Eflornithine reduces hair growth by preventing the hair follicle from activating enzymes which lead to the formation of hair. Applying the cream twice daily for at least 8 weeks prevents hair regrowth, visibly reducing hair on the face. Treatment must be continued for a minimum of 8-12 weeks and normal hair removal methods can be used until effects are seen. It is possible to use make up along with Vaniqa.
Following the initial 8 weeks, Vaniqa will reduce the appearance of thick coarse hair reducing the need to for regular hair removal and time spent maintaining and concealing facial hair.
