Hi Crystal,
Vaniqua is a cream that is by prescription that you use twice daily and
it is suppose to slow down the hair growth over time. You still have to
do what you normally do to remove hair (shave,wax etc.) It takes
different amount of time for different people to show any improvement.
You can go to http://www.vaniqua.com for further information. The cheapest
place to buy this is at http://www.drugstore.com. It's about 40 dollars a tube
and it is suppose to last over a month...depending on how much you use.
I have been using it for about two months and have not seen much
improvement yet but I have heard from read from many posts that it has
helped people. You should give it a try! Hope this helps.
