A Prescription Cream To Complement Facial Hair Removal Methods
Bristol-Myer Squibb along with The Gillette Company succeeded in getting FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval for a prescription cream which, when applied regularly to the skin, inhibits hair growth. They called it Vaniqa.
Clinical trials and tests showed it had some effect on around 58% of the women who tried it. Side effects are minimal, just skin irritation or redness in a small number of cases. Results are seen after a couple of months.
Some years before that, around 1993, a Toronto based company called Nisim International, released a product to curb hair loss. It was featured in the Medical Post of 1993 and the clinical trial results listed there were quite impressive in stopping hair loss and generating new hair growth.
What's this got to do with facial hair removal? Well, in the process of developing a hair loss solution by treating the hair follicles, the Nisim laboratory stumbled on a way to get the hair follicles to stop producing hair using natural enzymes.
A Non-Prescription Lotion For Facial Hair Removal Sessions
Four years later, they released Kalo, a hair growth inhibitor based on natural ingredients. You don't need a prescription to obtain it. It is for men and women and can be used on any part of the body, unlike Vaniqa which is only for women and usage is restricted to the facial areas. Additionally, the makers of Kalo offer a money back guarantee.
So women who use waxes, hard, soft, hot or cold, sugaring pastes or strips, tweezers, or who go to a beauty salon for the increasingly popular threading procedure, can now make facial hair removal a lot easier.
Hair growth inhibitors such as Vaniqa and Kalo interrupt the normal mechanism for hair growth so repeated use results in a reduction in hair growth and a change in hair texture, making it easier to remove. This means facial hair removal sessions become much more infrequent.
Considering the high costs of electrolysis and laser hair removal, this option might well be worth investigating further. The resource box below provides additional links for research.
