Facial Hair Removal Breakthrough -The History

Due to the use of Vaniqa Cream, now millions of women were able to make facial hair removal is much easier.

Yes, they still continue their regular method of facial hair removal, be it wax, sugar, threading or tweezers, but do so in connection with the use of Vaniqa reqularly made much easier and sessions 'more facial hair removal are rare.

The road to FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved a drug is a long process that takes years. This is obviously for the protection of the public to do so as safely as possible, there are serious adverse side effects.

Bristol-Myers Squibb and Gillette was able to get a Vaniqa approved by the FDA that is available with a doctor prescription cream.

The background to the implementation of Vaniqa is intriguing:

A drug called eflornithine was developed several years ago to combat malignancy. Unfortunately, it was not effective for this purpose.

However, accidentally discovered that Eflornithine was effective in the condition commonly known as sleeping sickness, which is in many parts of Africa.

Therefore, waxing kits, sweet pulp thread, tweezers, and procedures are in great demand. Many women choose to use wax or paste or sweet clips at home. These methods are inexpensive, although it should be repeated every few weeks, the rate of hair growth.

What if there was a good way to do it at home facial hair removal sessions easier. Specifically, if the hair does not grow as fast, and when he did, so if it's thinner and easier to remove or remove wax or sugar paste?

For many years, several companies in the personal care and pharmaceuticals has been investigating this problem. In 2000 he made an announcement of a cream was available, especially for facial hair removal for women, which would slow the growth of facial hair for hair removal sessions would not be so common.

Prescription cream for facial hair removal methods to integrate

Bristol-Myer Squibb in collaboration with The Gillette Company has managed to make the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval of a prescription cream that when applied regularly to the skin, inhibit hair growth. They called it Vaniqa.

Four years later, they released Kalo, a hair growth inhibitor from natural ingredients. You do not need a prescription to get it. For men and women and can be used anywhere in the body, unlike Vaniqa is for women only and limited to areas of the face. In addition, manufacturers offer a warranty Kalo money back.

Thus, women who use waxes, hard, soft, hot or cold, sugaring paste or strips, tweezers, or go to a beauty salon for threading an increasingly popular procedure, will now be able to remove facial hair much easier.

A curious side effect of the drug was the hair loss, as is the case with certain medications used in the fight against cancer.

In addition, research has shown that Eflornithine irreversibly inhibits the work of an enzyme associated with hair growth. This has led to the production of cream contains 139mg g / eflornithine hydrochloride. He took the name "eflornithine hydrochloride 13.9%," and were sold under the brand name - Vaniqa.

Vaniqa is a topical cream applied directly to the skin to help facial hair removal, especially in the areas around the lips and chin.

Over time, both of Bristol-Myers Squibb and The Gillette Company believes that Vaniqa is no longer meets their goals for the future so they sold it in June 2002 a company called Women First Healthcare.
