Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS NO GROW?
HOW DOES NO GROW WORK?
DOES NO GROW REMOVE SURFACE HAIR?
DO YOU CONTINUE WITH YOUR USUAL HAIR REMOVAL METHOD WHILE USING NO GROW WEEKLY?
During the first couple of months, we recommend applying No Grow to your surface hair when it’s 1-2mm in length. This helps to eliminate wastage and also assists with the actual process. Over time your hair will grow back thinner and slower until it eventually stops altogether.
Do not remove your surface hair prior to application.
If waxing is your preferred hair removal method, please ensure you wait for at least 7-days pre or post-wax before applying No Grow (waxing removes the first layer of your skin, thus making the skin extra sensitive). Applying No Grow after a wax could cause contact dermatitis or sensitive skin.

IS NO GROW SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?
Burning or stinging is not normal, ensure you remove immediately if this occurs. Always respect your skin response.
Do not use No Grow on medical skin conditions like Psoriasis, Contact Dermatitis, Impetigo, Skin Cancer, Eczema, or Rosacea.
IS THERE ANY SKIN SENSATION WHEN NO GROW IS APPLIED?
Always respect your skin response.
I HAVE VERY SENSITIVE SKIN, CAN I STILL USE NO GROW?
Never leave No Grow on your face for more than 5-minutes and 15-minutes on your body. It takes No Grow 5-minutes to activate the hair follicle, therefore long extended treatment times are not required.
It is strongly recommended to use our Soothing Aftercare Gel even if you don't naturally have sensitive skin (anti-irritant and calming properties).
DOES NO GROW GET ABSORBED INTO THE BLOODSTREAM?
I DID NOT PURCHASE YOUR SOOTHING AFTERCARE GEL, WHAT ELSE CAN I USE TO SOOTH MY SKIN?
You may apply any cream, serums, make-up or shaving cream 30-minutes after application.
Do not apply any active ingredients like Vitamin C, AHA’s or Chemical Exfoliants for at least 24 hours after No Grow application.
Vitamin A application, as well as Peel’s, Derma Pen treatments, laser, and the like, should only be done 7 days prior or post No Grow application.
I AM CURRENTLY ON ROACCUTANE, CAN I USE NO GROW?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE VARIANTS?
DOES NO GROW WORK ON ALL HAIR COLOURS?
I AM 4-MONTHS INTO MY TREATMENT AND ALREADY NOTICING THAT MY HAIR IS EITHER GROWING BACK PATCHY OR VERY SLOWLY. DO I SLOW DOWN MY TREATMENTS TO WAIT FOR THE HAIR TO GROW?
WHAT IF I MISS A WEEK OF USING NO GROW?
Without a doubt, people who are diligent have the best results.
CAN NO GROW BE USED ON TEENAGERS?
Yes, No Grow has been used successfully on teenagers under the guidance of their parent/guardian.
The active ingredients in No Grow are gentle and have not resulted in any known side effects.
A small number of users may experience slight stinging and itching if the product is left on the skin for more than the instructed time period.
DOES NO GROW FACIAL PRODUCTS CAUSE PIGMENTATION?
I HAVE HORMONAL FACIAL HAIR (LIKE A MALE BEARD), WHICH IS THE BEST PRODUCT FOR ME?
We recommend ladies with hormonal facial hair to start with the Female Facial variant and then slowly transition over to the Male Beard after about 3-months. The reason for this is that the Male Beard variant is the strongest cream out of the range with the most amount of active ingredient. A ladies facial skin is on average 20% thinner than a males skin, we, therefore, have to gradually introduce the Male Beard product.
It is also recommended to use our Soothing Aftercare Gel as it is not only an anti-irritant with calming properties, but also contains a small amount of active ingredient in order to tackle hair density and enhance the effect of your No Grow plan.
MAY I USE MY USUAL FACIAL SKINCARE PRODUCTS AFTER APPLYING THIS PRODUCT?
Do not apply any active ingredients like Vitamin C, AHA’s or Chemical Exfoliants for at least 24 hours after NO Grow application.
Vitamin A application, as well as Peel’s, Derma Pen treatments, laser, and the like, should only be done 7 days prior or post No Grow application.
We recommend using our Soothing Aftercare Gel immediately after application.
ARE THERE ANY SENSITIVE AREAS TO AVOID WHEN USING THE FACIAL PRODUCTS?
Do not use No Grow on a skin rash, or on irritated, sunburned, inflamed or broken skin.
WHAT AREAS OF MY FACE DO I USE THE NO GROW FACIAL PRODUCTS?
Formulated for facial hair, use the No Grow Facial variants on:
- - Chin
- - Cheeks
- - Upper Lip
- - Male Beard
IS NO GROW BODY SAFE TO USE OVER TATTOOS?
The technology is pulled into the hair shaft to neutralize the hair bulb, therefore it does not affect pigment in the tattoo. We have many clients who have used No Grow over their tattoos.
As with any new product, we suggest doing a skin test 24-hours prior to full application.
CAN I USE FAKE TANNING PRODUCTS AT THE SAME TIME AS NO GROW?
I AM FEMALE AND HAVE THICK DARK LEG HAIR, SHOULD I USE THE MALE BODY VERSION INSTEAD OF THE FEMALE BODY?
Unless your leg hair represents male leg hair we still suggest using the Female Body for your leg hairs. On average, male skin is approximately 20% thicker than female skin.
To assist with thick/coarse leg hair, we suggest rather pairing the Female Body variant with our Soothing Aftercare Gel. This topical gel is not only anti-irritant and calming, but also contains a small amount of Dihydromyricetin (active ingredient) in order to tackle hair density and enhance the effect of your No Grow plan.
If you still believe that you need the Male Body variant, please email us so that we may guide you through an application plan.
