Will this remove the hair I already have?
No. The Hair Reduction Solutionᴿˣ slows the regrowth of new hair at the follicle level — it doesn't remove the hair you already have. Most patients keep using their usual removal method (shaving, waxing, threading, lasering) alongside the treatment. What changes is what comes back: slower, finer regrowth that means you're removing hair less often over time.
How long until I see results?
Most patients start noticing slower or finer regrowth between weeks 4 and 8 of consistent daily use, with meaningful change typically visible by weeks 6 to 12. Hair reduction works gradually because it works on the hair growth cycle — there's no overnight shortcut. Your DermClick care team checks in along the way.
What happens if I stop using it?
Hair regrowth typically returns to your previous rate over time when you stop applying the treatment. The Hair Reduction Solutionᴿˣ is designed for ongoing daily use, the way you'd think about any chronic-condition treatment. Some patients use it indefinitely; others step down to less frequent application after they've reached the level of regrowth they're comfortable with.
Can I still shave, wax, or use laser hair removal?
Yes. The Hair Reduction Solutionᴿˣ is designed to work alongside whatever removal method you're already using. Apply the topical to clean, dry skin on the days you're not doing a removal treatment. For waxing or laser sessions, a board-certified dermatologist on your care team may recommend pausing application for 24 to 48 hours before and after. Your assessment will cover the specifics for your routine.
Is this only for women?
The Hair Reduction Solutionᴿˣ is formulated specifically for unwanted facial hair in women — including hormonal facial hair growth from PCOS, menopause, and other causes. Topical eflornithine has been studied and prescribed primarily for women's facial hair reduction. Men experiencing unwanted facial hair growth should discuss alternatives with a board-certified dermatologist on their care team during the assessment.
Will this work for hair on my arms, legs, or other body parts?
The Hair Reduction Solutionᴿˣ is prescribed specifically for facial hair — the formulation and the studies behind eflornithine are focused there. For larger body areas, prescription topicals are generally less practical than other removal options. If you're dealing with unwanted hair beyond the face, a board-certified dermatologist on your care team will discuss options during your assessment.
