I started using Vaniqa 4 weeks ago. When I went for waxing yesterday, the hair on my chin was much more brittle, coarse, and textured than previously. I haven't seen anything about this in the literature - has anyone had this happen.

Just to let you know, I had electrolysis for years. Still have the hair. I tried laser - doesn't work well on lighter hair, so it wasn't effective, either. Waxing has been my best option and I thought that I'd try Vaniqa to see if it would make any difference.

Vaniqa is not causing this side effect. Vaniqa is for fine female facial hair.

Electrolysis does work 100% everytime is performed properly on a good schedule. If you don't approach this option with knowlegde of concepts as to what gets a person from point A to point B, then you will never find the magic bullet to end this circus with those chin hairs. Vaniqa is not the best answer for your problem.

I would encourage you to read these forums and learn about whatn a modern, well-educated electrologist can do for you. You won't be sorry. There is no other permanent option for you except properly performed electrolysis.

If you care to share the details of your electrolysis experience, we can tell you where things may have gone wrong.
