About Vaniqa (Eflornithine) Cream
Eflornithine cream is a prescription treatment used to reduce the rate of unwanted facial hair growth in women with facial hirsutism. It works by slowing the activity of an enzyme involved in hair growth. It does not remove existing hair, but helps new hair grow more slowly and may reduce the need for shaving, plucking or waxing. Improvement is usually seen after around 8 weeks of regular use, and continued treatment is needed to maintain results.
It slows new facial hair growth by blocking an enzyme involved in hair production.
