<p>Mammalian hair growth is reduced by applying to the skin an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine kinase. A method is described for applying to the skin a composition including an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine kinases in an amount effective to reduce hair growth. The unwanted hair growth which is reduced may be normal hair growth, or hair growth that results from an abnormal or diseased condition. The preferred composition includes at least one inhibitor of protein-tyrosine kinase in a cosmetically and/or dermatologically acceptable vehicle. The composition may be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid. The composition may be, for example, a cosmetic and dermatologic product in the form of an, for example, ointment, lotion, foam, cream, gel, or hydroalcoholic solution. The composition may also be in the form of a shaving preparation or an aftershave.</p> |
