Vaniqa 11.5% Cream

Description

What this medicine is for

Vaniqa 11.5% Cream is a topical treatment used to reduce unwanted facial hair growth in women, particularly in cases of hirsutism.

It is applied to areas such as the upper lip, chin, and jawline to help slow down hair regrowth and improve the appearance of excess facial hair over time.

Aniqa does not permanently remove hair, but helps reduce the rate and thickness of regrowth with continued use.

How it works

Vaniqa contains an active ingredient that inhibits an enzyme found in hair follicles that is necessary for hair growth.

By slowing down this enzyme activity, the cream reduces the speed of hair production, leading to finer and less noticeable regrowth over time.
