ABOUT
VANIQA
VANIQA is a cream applied to the skin for the
reduction of unwanted facial hair in women. Its active ingredient is
eflornithine hydrochloride. VANIQA is supplied in the form of a cream and
is dispensed in 30 and 60-gram tubes. It can be stored at room temperature.
HOW DOES VANIQA WORK?
VANIQA’s active ingredient interferes with an enzyme
found in the hair follicle of skin. This enzyme is used in the metabolism of
hair and is a necessary component for its growth. This slows down hair growth
improving the appearance of the area where VANIQA is used.
HOW DO I USE VANIQA?
VANIQA should be applied twice daily at least 8 hours
apart. Apply a thin layer of VANIQA to the effected areas of the face and
adjacent involved areas under the chin and rub in thoroughly. You should not
wash the treated areas for at least 4 hours after an application of VANIQA.
HOW FAST DOES VANIQA WORK?
With the aid of VANIQA improvement in the condition of
unwanted facial hair growth will occur gradually. Women using VANIQA
should not be discouraged if they see no immediate improvement. Be patient.
Changes to facial hair may be seen as early as 4 to 8 weeks. It should be noted
that improvement might take longer in some individuals. If no improvement is
seen after 6 months of use, discontinue treatment.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS VANIQA?
Studies showed that improvement in unwanted facial hair was
seen in approximately 60% of patients after 24 weeks of use. Overall, VANIQA
statistically significantly reduced the number of patients bothered by their
facial hair and by the time spent removing, treating, or concealing facial hair.
IS VANIQA A CURE FOR UNWANTED FACIAL HAIR?
No, VANIQA does not permanently remove hair or cure
unwanted facial hair. It should not be confused with a depilatory. If you are
utilizing a hair removal technique it should be continued. Nonetheless,
VANIQA will help you manage your condition and improve your appearance.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I STOP USING VANIQA?
Studies show that about 8 weeks after stopping therapy with
VANIQA, hair growth will restart at about the same rate as before
starting this medicine.
