Hair Growth Inhibitors

Most products are available over the counter and one product in particular requires a prescription.

I don't have a lot of personal experience with such products although I did try one non-prescription product for a short period of time. Given that I didn't use it long enough to really notice any difference, I can't say that it worked and can't really say that it didn't either.

Having said that, I don't currently use any hair growth inhibitor and have no plans to start using any in the future.

Typically you use a hair growth inhibitor after using another method of hair removal to attempt to slow the regrowth of the hair you've just removed.

Products often come in a lotion, cream or spray format and are usually applied directly to the area where hair removal has been conducted.

Whether or not every hair growth inhibitor on the market actually works is a bone of contention. You can certainly find a number of products on the market and new ones are popping up on the market regularly.

Your best bet is to do your homework if you are considering using a hair growth inhibitor. If the product you are considering has independent and verifiable research on its merits, carefully read it and consider its findings.

If a product requires a prescription, it's because it is considered to be a drug so you'll need to speak with a doctor about its merits and possible side effects. The fact that it requires a prescription means that research should be available on its rate of success.

When it comes to these sorts of products you'll need to learn how to figure out the difference between fact and hype.
