posted in Patient Care on Mar 27, 2026

What Is The Facial Hair Cream?

The Facial Hair Cream is a topical prescription treatment formulated with eflornithine and other powerful ingredients to slow down the growth of unwanted facial hair. This treatment has been formulated by our dermatologists to offer an alternative to shaving or waxing for women who experience hair growth around the lips or under the chin. By slowing the growth of unwanted hair, women can step into their femininity and enhance their self-confidence without the worry of daily facial hair removal.

At Musely, we believe in the treatments we provide and the transformations they can help patients achieve. That’s why The Facial Hair Cream includes a 60-Day Result Guarantee, giving you added confidence as you begin your treatment. Make sure to complete the eNurse check-up program and use your treatment consistently for 60 days to be eligible.
