The Hair Reduction Solution ($79/month) is a compounded prescription topical, applied twice daily to the affected facial area, that slows the rate at which unwanted facial hair regrows. The active is eflornithine — an enzyme inhibitor used in prescription care for unwanted facial hair that interferes with the hair growth cycle at the follicle. The DermClick formula is compounded for an individual patient and is not an FDA-approved finished drug product.
What it does and does not do:
- It slows regrowth over weeks of consistent use. Hair becomes finer, lighter, and slower to return after removal.
- It does not remove existing hair. You continue your existing hair removal method (shaving, plucking, waxing, threading, laser) alongside the prescription. The prescription extends the time between sessions.
- It is not laser hair removal. It is a topical that works while you use it. If you stop, hair growth typically returns to your baseline rate over a few months.
Visible reduction in regrowth typically appears at 4 to 8 weeks. Maximum visible benefit accumulates over 4 to 6 months. Results vary by individual and are influenced by hormonal context, hair density, and consistency of application.
