Vaniqa Cream For Facial Hair: Facts You Should Know
The year 2000 saw the arrival of Vaniqa cream on the market. This cream, designed to deal with unwanted facial hair on women, had passed rigorous testing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before getting 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 upper lip area or any other facial area you want to treat. This should be done twice a day, morning and evening.
Just wait for the cream to dry before applying any cosmetics to the facial area just treated.
What does it do?
It should be clearly understood that this cream is not a depilatory. In other words, the cream itself does not remove hair. Rather, it interrupts the mechanism of hair growth so hair growth is inhibited and may eventually stop altogether.
The cream slows down the hair growth you don’t need to use your regular hair removal method so often, whether that is waxing, or sugaring, or tweezing, or threading.
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?
This preparation is FDA approved so although it is only available on prescription, it has been through clinical trials and many safety tests before going on the market.
A small number of test participants reported a little swelling or redness and irritation on the skin. Those were the only side effects reported.
What is the success rate?
Fifty eight out of a hundred women who used it in the clinical trials reported a reduction in unwanted hair growth. That means of course that forty two out of a hundred didn’t see any reduction so a fair proportion found it didn’t work for them. You don’t know until you try so a period of experimentation may be needed, as with many medications.
Are there any limitations?
This facial cream is only for women. Young females less than 12 years of age are advised not to use it.
Pregnant or nursing women should exercise caution and consult with a medical practitioner before using it as there is insufficient data available regarding the effects of this drug on this section of the population.
To summarize: Vaniqa cream could just be the answer many women are looking for who are conscious of unwanted facial hair. If it works for them, then it can be used as a follow up after each hair removal session using waxing, tweezing or whatever method they choose so hair growth is reduced and hair removal is made easier.
Why not experiment and see if you are in the 58% of women who found Vaniqa cream reduces facial hair growth.
