Vaniqa Introduction

Over 40% of women suffer from unwanted facial hair, particularly on the upper lip and chin. The condition is more common after the menopause, due to a change in the balance of hormones. About three quarters of older women suffer from the problem.

Vaniqa cream reduces the rate of hair growth and works by blocking the enzyme which produces hair in the hair follicle.

Vaniqa should not be used if you are pregnant or breast feeding.
