Hello dear, You are correct regarding the fact that Elan cream slows the hair growth. Elyn cream contains eflornithine as its active ingredient, which reduces the rate of growth of hair. It is advisable to apply it after removal of hairs. But it will not cause permanent removal of the facial hair. For permanent removal, you need to undergo laser therapy which will act at the level of hair follicle & destroy them, preventing hair growth in the future. So, kindly consult a Dermatologist & discuss regarding this. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
