Common Questions About Hirsutism & Eflornithine
How does eflornithine work?
Eflornithine works by blocking an enzyme (ornithine decarboxylase) that hair follicles need to grow. Applied twice daily, it slows the rate of facial hair growth in treated areas.
How quickly will I see results?
Most women notice improvement within 4-8 weeks of consistent twice-daily application. Full results typically develop over 2-3 months of regular use.
Will it remove existing hair?
Eflornithine slows new hair growth but doesn't remove existing hair. You can continue your current hair removal methods (plucking, shaving, etc.) while using the cream - you'll just need to do it less often over time.
Is it safe for menopausal women?
Yes, eflornithine is safe and effective for women of all ages, including those going through menopause. It's specifically approved for women and works regardless of the cause of unwanted facial hair.
Are there side effects?
Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary skin irritation, redness, or stinging at the application site. These usually resolve with continued use.
What happens if I stop treatment?
Hair will gradually return to its pre-treatment growth rate within 8 weeks of stopping. Most women choose to continue long-term for sustained results.
