I used Vaniqa and spironolactone for 8 months with no result. I remember Vaniqa was over 50 dollars. My doctor does not suspect any hormone imbalances, just a bad case of hereditary hisutism-yuck! Electrolysis worked for me (on my chin and neck) during the two years that I was being treated (in that it lessened the amount, darkness, and coarseness) but grew back just as bad after not being treated for over a year. I am researching laser hair removal (for many areas) but have not tried it...would like to save up the money.
