Published: Nov 16, 2023
Struggling with unwanted facial hair? Eflornithine cream might just be the solution you've been searching for.
How Eflornithine Works
Eflornithine cream reduces hair growth by inhibiting ornithine decarboxylase, an enzyme crucial for hair production. It's effective for facial hair in women and requires regular application for noticeable results.
Effectiveness and Duration
Noticeable results from eflornithine cream typically appear after six to eight weeks of use. However, when the cream is discontinued, hair returns to pretreatment levels after about eight weeks.
Combining with Other Treatments
Studies show that combining eflornithine with laser treatments accelerates results. This combination is particularly beneficial for those seeking quicker outcomes in hair reduction.
