Do I need a prescription for vaniqa?

Yes. Moreover, the cream is exorbitantly expensive. In general, expect to fork out between $35-$50 every 4-8 weeks. Definitely not worth it. The problem is no one knows who will respond and thus, it is hard to recommend such as expensive product. If the drug has not worked after 4-6 weeks, it is unlikely to work at all. 

Please when you read the reviews online, many are written by people who sell the product- so do not be fooled. Get an opinion from a person who has used it for the real answer.

How does one use Vaniqa to remove facial hair?

Vaniqa should only be taken as directed. The medication is available as a topical cream and should only be applied on the face and chin. Vaniqa is applied twice a day. Vaniqa should not be immediately applied after hair removal. When applied to skin, the area should not be washed for at least 4-6 hours. Always wash hands after use of Vaniqa. Vaniqa is not meant for use around eyes, mouth or nose. 

Do not apply any cream, ointment, lotions or potion on your face until Vaniqa has completely dried. Since Vaniqa does not remove hair immediately, one has to continue using other means of removing hair.

I have been thinking of using vaniqa to remove my facial hair. Does it have side effects?

Mild side effects include itching, stinging, tingling or redness. In some cases, it may worsen your acne.

Vaniqa can also induce an allergic reaction, which may present with a skin rash, itching, dizziness or trouble breathing. In such cases, one should seek immediate medical attention

I would like to use vaniqa to remove my facial hair. Does it work?

Vaniqa is a medication that is used to slow down hair growth on the face and chin in women. The drug is not supposed to be used anywhere else on the body, nor is it recommended for use in children under the age of 12. Vaniqa contains a substance that blocks enzymes needed for hair growth. The hair growth slows and eventually stops over time. 

Unfortunately, Vaniqa does not work in all individuals. In fact, less than 1-3 percent of women claim that it works. It does not prevent hair growth, just slows it down. It appears to work in women with very fine hair.
