Description
Vaniqa is a topical cream used to help reduce the growth of unwanted facial hair, particularly in women diagnosed with facial hirsutism. It contains eflornithine hydrochloride, a substance that works by slowing down the rate of hair growth at the follicular level. Unlike methods that remove hair, such as shaving or waxing, Vaniqa acts at the level of the hair follicle to slow growth and is used as a long-term option.
The cream is applied directly to affected areas of the face, such as the upper lip, chin, or jawline, twice daily, with at least eight hours between applications. It is not a hair removal product but is intended to reduce the speed and thickness of regrowth over time. Visible improvement may take four to eight weeks, and continued use is necessary to maintain results. If the cream is discontinued, hair growth typically returns to its previous pattern.
Vaniqa is often used alongside cosmetic hair removal methods. Over time, some individuals may experience a reduction in the frequency of hair removal procedures, and the appearance of regrowth may become finer and lighter. It may be used long-term under medical supervision, although effects vary between individuals.
Common side effects are usually mild and may include redness, tingling, stinging, or slight skin irritation at the application site. These symptoms often lessen as the skin adjusts to the cream. Vaniqa should be applied only to clean, dry skin, and a short waiting period is recommended before applying makeup or sunscreen.
