Understanding the options

Excess facial hair (hirsutism) affects around 5-10% of women and can be due to hormonal factors, certain medications, or genetic predisposition. We offer a discreet consultation to identify the underlying cause where possible and discuss treatment options — including prescription topical treatments such as eflornithine (Vaniqa).

Our service is consultation-based — we don't offer in-house laser or electrolysis treatments. Where those are most appropriate, we'll refer you to a suitable provider.

Common questions

What is Vaniqa?
Vaniqa (eflornithine) is a prescription cream that slows the rate of facial hair growth. It's applied twice daily and most users see improvement within 8 weeks. Effects reverse if you stop using it.
Do you offer laser hair removal?
No — we don't provide in-house laser or electrolysis. These are best done by specialist aesthetic clinics. We're happy to advise on what to look for and can refer you to reputable providers.
Could there be an underlying medical cause?
Sometimes — particularly with rapid-onset or severe hirsutism. Common causes include PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and hormonal imbalances. We may recommend GP referral for blood tests to investigate.
How much does Vaniqa cost?
Pricing varies — please call us on 01254 660473 for current rates.
Is this service confidential?
Yes — all consultations take place in our private room. With your consent, we may inform your GP if clinically relevant.
