I'm curious if eflora eflorithine hydrochloride cream 13.9% really helps with reducing facial hair growth or just makes the hair look thinner. I've already gone through 4 or 5 laser sessions, but instead of getting better, my facial hair actually seems worse now. I'm using the cream every day, but I'm not sure if it's the right move. Would love some advice on what to do next.

Eflora (eflornithine hydrochloride cream 13.9%) can help reduce facial hair growth and make hairs appear thinner.

How it works

1. Inhibits hair growth: Eflornithine blocks the enzyme responsible for hair growth, leading to slower and thinner hair.
2. Reduces hair density: Regular use can decrease the number of hairs in the treated area.

Tips for using Eflora

1. Apply daily: Consistency is key for optimal results.
2. Wait 8 hours: After applying Eflora, wait at least 8 hours before using other hair removal methods.
3. Combine with other methods: Eflora can be used in conjunction with other hair removal methods, like waxing or threading.

Post-Laser Hair Growth

1. Hormonal imbalance: Laser hair removal can stimulate hormonal changes, leading to increased hair growth.
2. Consult a professional: Discuss your concerns with a dermatologist or esthetician to determine the best course of action.

Remember that individual results may vary, and it's essential to be patient and consistent when using Eflora.
