Elyn (eflornithine) only slows the growth of the hair. It helps to reduce the frequency of other hair removal methods (i.e, if someone has to thread once a week, when you use the cream regularly, the hair regrows slowly so that after some time of usage, you will notice that you need to thread only once in 2 or 3 weeks. It will never stop hair grow or remove hairs. And once you stop using eflornithine, the hair will start growing at the old rate again.

Eflora Cream will help slow down the rate of hair growth in unwanted areas, but this does not mean that it will put an end to hair growth altogether. The cream is designed to reduce facial hair and improve the overall look and appearance.For permanent hair removal, light sheer diode laser should be considered.
