Hair growth inhibitors promise to prolong the effects of hair removal by slowing the rate at which your hair grows. Do they actually work?

Hair growth inhibitors are natural or chemical liquids that promise to prolong the effects of your favorite hair removal method by slowing the rate at which your hair grows. More recently, hair growth inhibitors have been cropping up in drug stores, body moisturizers, hair removal ads, and dermatologist offices. Not all of them are created equal.

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 hair growth 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 or hair removal creams you should not use hair growth inhibitors, since the chemicals in the two substances could irritate your 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 consulation to purchase it over the Internet.

Am I looking at the Ad for a Scam?

Some women find that all-natural hair growth inhibitors bought in stores and even hair growth inhibitors added to some brands of body moisturizer are effective, but you can expect far less dramatic results with these products than with Vaniqa. And some women find that over-the-counter and natural hair growth inhibitors work little or not at all - and may even irritate skin. This is in a product that tends to be pricey! If you see an ad for a hair growth inhibitor that promises very long-term hairlessness or even permanent hair reduction, then yes - you are looking at the ad for a scam.
