I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's a chemical that gets down into the follicle and interferes with the enzyme process that promotes growth. I don't imagine that being a whole lot different on a different part of the body.

The manufacturer only tested it on the face, and only got FDA approval for the face. Therefore, they can only advertise it for the face, and can only put that on the label. It's pretty expensive, so I don't see people trying it on their legs, for example. However, it should work. I don't see why you couldn't use it anywhere you want to, and want to pay for.
