Got this from the WebMD site online:
And in an important development for the 41 million American women that suffer from unwanted facial hair, a cream known as Vaniqa was approved last Friday by the FDA.
"As a physician, I am excited about the potential for this new prescription cream to help women manage unwanted facial hair," says Marty Sawaya, MD, PhD, an adjunct professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Miami. Applied to the skin, "Vaniqa will potentially help millions of women with this condition to feel less bothered by their facial hair and the amount of time they spend removing, treating, or concealing it," she says.
Vaniqa, which is believed to block a natural chemical necessary for hair growth, did demonstrate a significant reduction in facial hair growth in human studies. About 60% of the women completing at least six months of treatment experienced a significant reduction of facial hair. The prescription cream, which takes about two months to work, also worked regardless of whether the hair growth was cause by hereditary factors or a medical condition.
Sounds promising for those wanting to try, but best to do research and read up on the initial results found after wide-release.
