I am very excited to try vaniqa. I pulled up the web site and vaniqa DOES OFFER REBATES of $25. and $50.on a prescription. So check out their web site and get the rebate form. Hope this helps.

I've had to tweeze about everyday for at least 3-5 years now and the amount of hair gets worse. I saw results from Vaniqa after about 2 months and it worked great for the next 3 months or so. Hardly any plucking and hardly any hair growth. Then, the results gradually went away over the next 2 months or so. I'm getting laser treatments starting next week and can't wait.

The pharmacy info that comes with the product does NOT tell you that one of the side effects is hair loss on the head. Pay close attention to your scalp. If you start seeing more scalp than you used to stop using the product. After 2 months of of using vaniqua my scalp started turning bright red in areas and it felt like someone was standing over me trying to lift me off of the ground by my hair. ... Show Full Comment

If you start seeing more scalp than you used to stop using the product. After 2 months of of using vaniqua my scalp started turning bright red in areas and it felt like someone was standing over me trying to lift me off of the ground by my hair. I am still having this pain after one month of not using Vaniqa. I am also now seeing a dermo who has prescribed liquid steriods to stop the pain, redness and hopefully start the growth again. Just as horrible the hair on my head has stopped growing. It's not falling out other than the usual 50 to 100 hairs a day. But my body is no longer replacing those 50-100 hairs in the hair growth cycle. pay close attention to your scalp. Had one of the risks said hair loss on the head I would never have used the product. hopefully after this stuff gets out of my system the hair will grow back.

The embarrassment and wasted time was gone!! Thank you! -I would like to know if there are some long term studies on this drug i.e. effectiveness over time/years, one application versus two a day (by changing chemical strength). -I confess, I have missed one of the applications every couple of months or so.

I noticed the facial hair became finer and easier to pluck after a few weeks. Eventually I noticed the hair on my head started thinning dramatically and turned to "baby hair". Doc said she wasn't aware of that as a side effect. A couple of months ago I cut back to once daily usage to see the difference in facial hair. It's a little courser but not objectionable.

I noticed the facial hair became finer and easier to pluck after a few weeks. Eventually I noticed the hair on my head started thinning dramatically and turned to "baby hair". Doc said she wasn't aware of that as a side effect. A couple of months ago I cut back to once daily usage to see the difference in facial hair. It's a little courser but not objectionable. The big difference is my sparse mane! All of a sudden it turned very soft & I no longer need conditioner. My skin also turned soft; no lotion needed. And, my hair stopped the rapid thinning. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
