Does anyone know how the eflornithine hydrochloride affects the hair growth cells? How does it do what it does exactly?
I understand it also activates the sebum-producing glands from previous posts…
The very simple explanation is that Vaniqa neutralizes the enzyme that “some” people (not all) have in their skin. This enzyme is sensitive to the androgens that are part of the normal hormones in a woman’s body. As a result of this sensitivity, the hair follicles in the enzyme influenced areas are “turned on” by the androgens and grow accelerated vellus and then terminal hairs.
Thank you Barbara, that’s really interesting…

“Growth of androgen-dependent hairs are influenced in several ways by:
(a) decreasing androgen production,
(b) blocking testosterone transformation to 5- α-DHT,
© blocking androgen receptors”
It seems there are many other substances that could interfere with the hair growth process…
“Retinoic acid reduces the number of androgen receptors by 30-40%.”
We have a sticky post on the laser forum outlining a bunch of different things that affect hair growth in people. Yes, there are tons of things that do.
So after 5pages can we conclude that vaniqa won’t work for men?
The manufacturer intends their product to be for women’s facial fine, facial hair.
Thanks for the answer.
You are very welcome.
I thing men avoid that types of products. Becoze they are careless in these things
