For Hirsutism "I have been using Vaniqa for about 12 years now, and it has been amazing. I have always had dark and long peach fuzz all over my face. Vaniqa got rid of it. I do still grow a mustache and some thicker hairs on my chin, especially as I get older, but I can manage that with tweezers. It's the full-face peach fuzz that was unmanageable. Make sure you apply the Vaniqa as the last step in your facial regimen. For a while, I was putting it on first, under my other products, thinking it would work better, but then I started losing hair at the end of my left eyebrow. It took me a while to realize that when I put other lotions on over the Vaniqa, I was spreading it onto my eyebrows. Hair grew back when I was more careful."

For Hirsutism "I have PCOS, and so I have a great amount of upper lip hair and on my chin. Instead of pulling 20 chin hairs a day, I pull about 4-5 if I use the product 2 times per day. I have also noticed over the past 3 months that the hair on my head has been falling out, so I backed off on using this product to 1 time per day. I continue to lose a number of hairs from my head every day. I know if I back off to using Vaniqa once every other day, my chin and lip hair will increase, so not sure what to do."

For Hirsutism "For me, this medication worked everywhere but on my facial hair. It was definitely systemic for me as I noticed no hair growth in areas of my body, previously hairy, but no change in my facial hair. I have rheumatoid arthritis, and I take a medication that causes hair loss. I noticed that there was no regrowth in hair on my scalp that I lost from the medication."

For Hirsutism "I have recently tried Vaniqa for facial hair, and I have lost so much hair on my scalp, I would say 40 percent of my hair. I began noticing so much hair loss once I began using Vaniqa for facial hair, and I stopped using the product. Not sure if anyone else went through this."

"Vaniqa has been amazing at slowing my facial hair growth. My first tube was six months ago that, with discounts, cost $50, still high but worth it for me. But the second prescription is $180 as discounts are no longer available. But my main question is, has anyone else noticed the hair on their head also thinning? I can easily see my scalp on the left side of my head. And if Vaniqa is not to blame, are any discounts still working for anyone in the US, or is there a pharmacy outside of the US to fill cheaper?"
