Jeffrey S. Dover, M.D.Although you tweeze, shave or wax your unwanted facial hair, when you're with people up close and face-to-face, you may still worry that others will notice, since unwanted facial hair is diffictult to cover-up.
There are many choices when it comes to managing unwanted facial hair. Vaniqa is the only prescription product approved by the FDA and clinically proven to reduce the growth of hair rather than just removing it. Many women will see results within 4 to 8 weeks when used twice a day everyday, but for some women it may take longer. With Vaniqa®, you'll feel confident that people won't notice your facial hair, even when you're up close.
Use Vaniqa® after cleansing and before applying moisturizer, sunscreen or cosmetics. Apply a think layer of Vaniqa® on the affected area of your face twice a day, until it's absorbed into your skin.
You may want to use Vaniqa® once in the morning and once at night as part of your daily skin care routine, since you should wait 8 hours between application, and at least 4 hours before washing your face again. Remember, you should continue to use your current method of hair removal.
Vaniqa® does not work instantly and it takes time for results to become visible, but you should see improvement in as early as eight weeks. Using Vaniqa® doesn't mean you don't have to deal with unwanted facial hair anymore. Vaniqa® complements your current method of hair removal by reducing the rate of hair growth, so over time you should be romoving unwanted facial hair less frequently.
If you don't apply Vaniqa® for an extended period of time, hair will begin growing at the same rate as it used to grow. Once you resume using Vaniqa® twice a day, everyday, hair growth should slow again.
