WHAT IS VANIQA USED FOR?
Vaniqa is used to delay the regrowth of unwanted facial hair in women. Vaniqa interferes with an enzyme found in the hair follicle of the skin needed for hair growth. This results in slower hair growth and shorter or fewer hairs where Vaniqa is applied. Vaniqa does not permanently remove hair or “cure” unwanted facial hair. It is not a depilatory. Your treatment program should include continuation of any hair removal techniques you are currently using. Vaniqa will help you manage your condition. Reduction of hair growth occurs gradually. Don’t be discouraged if you see no immediate improvement. Improvement may be seen as early as after 4 to 8 weeks of treatment. Improvement may take longer in some people. If no improvement is seen after 6 months of use, stop using Vaniqa. Clinical studies show that in about 8 weeks after stopping treatment with Vaniqa, the hair will return to the same condition as before beginning treatment.
