About Facial Hair Removal

Facial hair is completely normal — but when it becomes darker, thicker, or grows in more prominent areas like the upper lip, chin, or jawline, it can cause distress or affect confidence. This condition is known as hirsutism, and it affects up to 1 in 10 women in the UK.

The most common cause of facial hair growth in women is a hormonal imbalance, particularly an increase in androgens(male hormones like testosterone). This is often associated with:

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Menopause or hormonal shifts
Certain medications, such as anabolic steroids or corticosteroids
Genetic predisposition, especially if facial hair runs in your family

While temporary methods like shaving, waxing, plucking or threading can offer short-term results, they don’t stop hair from growing back — and may cause irritation, ingrown hairs, or skin sensitivity, particularly on delicate facial skin.

That’s why many women choose a prescription-strength topical cream like Vaniqa (eflornithine), which works by slowing the growth of new hairs at the root. With consistent use, facial hair becomes finer, lighter, and grows back more slowly — offering a longer-term, more confidence-boosting solution.

At EveryDayMeds, our pharmacist-approved facial hair treatment is delivered quickly and discreetly, with no need to visit your GP or clinic in person.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about this clinic

What causes unwanted facial hair in women?

Unwanted facial hair is often due to hirsutism, caused by higher levels of androgens. Common triggers include PCOS, menopause, certain medications, and genetics. Prescription treatments can help reduce regrowth.

What is the best treatment for reducing facial hair growth?

Vaniqa (eflornithine) is a prescription cream that slows hair growth at the follicle level. It doesn’t remove hair but makes regrowth finer and slower over time. Results usually appear in 8–12 weeks.

How quickly will I see results from treatment?

Improvements typically begin within 8 weeks, with full results in up to 4 months. Use Vaniqa twice daily and continue your usual hair removal method. Stop use, and hair regrowth returns within 8 weeks.

Is prescription facial hair removal cream safe for daily use?

Yes, Vaniqa is safe for long-term use and works locally without affecting hormones. Mild irritation may occur but usually improves with moisturising or reducing application to once daily.

Can I use Vaniqa with other facial hair removal methods?

Yes. Use it alongside shaving or plucking. Avoid applying it to broken skin or immediately after waxing. Don’t mix with other active skincare products unless advised.

Will the hair grow back if I stop using treatment?

Yes, hair typically returns to baseline within 8 weeks after stopping. For lasting results, ongoing use is recommended. For permanent reduction, consider laser or electrolysis.
