USES OF ELYN CREAM
- Facial hirsutism (Excessive hair growth on face)
BENEFITS OF ELYN CREAM
Facial hirsutism is a condition in women that results in excessive growth of dark or coarse hair in a male-like pattern on the face. With hirsutism, extra hair growth often arises from excess male hormones (androgens), primarily testosterone. It blocks the activity of the enzyme that is responsible for excessive hair growth on the face and below the chin area in females. This improves your appearance and social life. By using Elyn Cream you will feel more confident. Keep using it as directed by your doctor.
