How do I get my hands on Vaniqa?

It is available through prescription only, meaning that you have to visit your dermatologist or doctor, or purchase Vaniqa through an online prescription, if you want to try this new treatment. A responsible doctor or dermatologist will explain how Vaniqa works and will talk with you to determine whether Vaniqa will really work for you. Since it is a powerful agent, Vaniqa is usually not prescribed to just anyone who wants to slow hair growth. Why? As with any drug, there can be some side effects and risks to consider, after all. Vaniqa can be expensive and works only in conjunction with other hair removal methods (meaning you will have to keep paying for whatever methods you use now). It is also not covered by many health insurance policies, meaning it probably only makes sense if you have excessive or very fast growing hair that is difficult to get rid of.

How does Vaniqa act as a hair growth inhibitor?

Vaniqa contains eflornithine hydrochloride, which delays cell functions that are responsible for generating growth in hairs. If you and your doctor do decide that Vaniqa is for you, you will have to buy the product and then spread it on the skin after regular hair removal methods. After about two months of continued use, you will notice that your hair grows back more slowly. Hair growth will not stop completely, so you will still have to continue to remove hair. Usually, Vaniqa is applied daily (twice a day) and must be applied for as long as you want to halt hair growth. This means that if for any reason you discontinue treatment, you will find your hair starts to grow back at normal rates again.

Are generics available at a lower cost?

Yes! Eflornithine Hydrochloride can be purchased online at a cost effective price from here.

Who should not use Vaniqa?

Vaniqa may cause skin irritation and should not be used by pregnant women. If you use depilatories or hair removal creams on your face you may also want to give Vaniqa a pass, since the two chemicals together may prove very irritating for skin.

Who should use Vaniqa?

Generally, because of the risks and the bother of getting Vaniqa, Hairchick recommends this product only to women who suffer from hirsutism, or from hair that grows back unusually fast. For these women, Vaniqa can be a great help. For the rest of us, other alternatives make more sense (even if they are a pain sometimes).

So what are my best alternatives?

Well, we believe your best choices are:

• Revitol – This is a hair removal cream with a built in inhibitor, from a reputable company. I use this product myself due to its cost effectiveness and ease of use. Click the link to read my review and find out why this product wins our ‘Editors Choice’ award.
• Kalo – This is a non prescription proprietary hair growth inhibitor which has proven results. If you are looking for a stand-alone inhibitor, this is the one for you.

How do Hair Growth Inhibitors work?

They all work in a similar manner. After shaving, waxing, or using your favorite hair removal method, you apply the inhibitor to your skin. The inhibitors are sometimes in the form of sprays, creams, lotions, foams, or gels. They work the same way, but application ease varies. The idea is to use the hair growth inhibitor for at least a month to see results. The results are a noticeable slower rate of hair growth. Women who want to shave less or wax less (and doesn’t this mean all of us?) may find hair growth inhibitors an attractive option. If you use depilatories you should be careful to choose the right inhibitor, since the chemicals in the two substances could irritate your skin.

Am I looking at the Ad for a Scam?

Some women find that all-natural hair growth inhibitors bought in stores and even inhibitors added to some brands of body moisturizer are effective, but produce less dramatic results than with Vaniqa. And some women find that some brands of over-the-counter and natural hair growth inhibitors work little or not at all – and may even irritate skin.

So which ones actually work?

The only problem is this: as new products are constantly being added to the market, it becomes more difficult to tell which actually offer results. The FDA in the United States has only approved Vaniqa as a hair growth inhibitor, and this drug is generally only available through doctors or dermatologists. However, the good news is, people who want an easier (and not so embarrassing) alternative to getting their hands on Vaniqa can have an online consultation to purchase it over the Internet.

Vaniqa may be the most effective hair growth inhibitor, but it is not overly recommended for general use. Hairchick recommends either the use of Revitol, which is a depilatory with a built inhibitor, or Kalo, which is an inhibitor that has actually been proven to work.
