Thread: Vaniqa?

The Boots own laser machine is also meant to be very good and there are oodles of videos about it online. I haven't got one as it's a huge investment to make and I'm hoping with the weight loss the fluff will begin to subside too. Most of the home kits have very good reviews elb4160!

Wow sounds dangerous, well for me anyhow lol.

Remove the hair, wait 10 mins, then apply the cream... Then wait for it to dry and then you can moisturise or cover with make up... I tend to have a shower, shave, go get some breakfast, put the cream on, do my hair brush my teeth, put make up on get dressed lol x

i tried this but it didnt seem to work to well for me, i probably didnt use it enough to be honest! Im getting laser treatment at the minte which is on the nhs, i dont know if its every where but i kept bugging my doctor, in the end a dr on cover sent a request for funding and i was accepted took awhile to come through but can honestly say it was the best thing i ever did

i had it prescribed a month ago!!!!! went into my gp armed with research (being a nurse helped nagged the obs gynae team for info) was ready to beg if needed!!! but as soon as mentioned my gp was yep not a prob!!! you have pcos so do not need to do test and gave me a prescription..... it has been brill only a month and already improvement.

That's excellent news shar75, I'm really pleased it's working for you! I need to get my bum in gear and actually remember to use it!!! Can you only apply it after removing the hair or can it be in between removals? (in other words i'm planning on removing it tomorrow morning after i've had a nice soak in the bath but I've remembered to apply it now)

I apply after removal. There is something in it that represses hair growth??? I recently had laser And found it worked amazingly with that at the mo I am free from hair on face... First time in 20 years!! I think diff things work for diff people so the last year due to finance not being such a prob I have tried almost everything... I am to ashamed to get the laser for anywhere other than face... But have been using no no hair and that also working well in legs arms etc etc...

I'm going to ask my doctor if I can try this. Thanks do much for this thread!

Hey gina
It can be used for any colour hair......It works hormonally to reduce hair. It worked for me but I also had laser. Good luck with it. Oh if it stings at the start that's normal keep at it...
