Vaniqa, marketed by Bristol-Myers Squibb and Gillette Company's, is a 15% eflornithine cream safely tested for inhibiting excess hair growth in females. Presently, submitted for FDA review the cream will be available through medical doctors (check with your doctor). Vaniqa, an irreversible enzyme blocker inhibits cell growth within the hair follicle. The body's continual production of the enzyme requires a twice a day application for maintenance. Opposed to the laser that currently serves only light skinned, dark hair patients this is safely effective on all individuals. Women participating in the clinical studies where allowed to keep up their facial shaving, waxing and tweezing -- a total of 70% had marked improvement in 24 weeks.

Naturally Clear Topical Spray, is a patented 4% nicotinamide, clinically proven for moderate inflammatory acne ( defined by the presence of at least 15 papules or pustules on the face). Nicotinamide, is the active form in niacin the source of B3, used for its anti-inflammatory properties in other skin disorders. The clinical studies tested topical 1% clindamycin for comparable efficacy against 4% nicotinamide. Results at the four week interval showed clindamycin ahead with no difference between the two at eight weeks. Clindamycin, a topical acne antibiotic, is associated with producing resistant strains of bacteria in acne therapy. Nicotinamide after eight weeks is as effective without producing resistant bacteria strains and a valid alternative. You may purchase Naturally Clear Topical Spray at www.skin911.com or in the office. A topical 4 oz. liquid spray is $9.50, pump 6-7 times, twice a day, over glycolic
acid or Retin-A should last 45 days, if used properly. Best results achieved after the eighth week of use.
Please, cut your Guinot tubes in half for the remainder of the product, before discarding.
Until next time, Mary
