Hyperhidrosis / Excessive Sweating
Sweating is a natural and necessary function to control body temperature. However, excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis) is an embarrassing condition that affects a surprising number of people. Heavy perspiration in the armpit area is not only uncomfortable but also unsightly, leading to confidence problems and restricted choices in what to wear.
The condition is quickly and effectively treated using BOTOX® in the underarm area. A series of injections into both armpits will take less than half an hour and will stop excessive sweating for around 6 months. With repeated treatments, the results last even longer.
Hyperhidrosis Treatment: Frequently Asked Questions
Who does it suit?
The treatment is suitable for both women and men and requires no preparation. As it becomes more widely known, it has become increasingly popular to stop the embarrassment of unsightly "damp patches"
How long does it take?
The treatment itself takes around half an hour. A series of tiny injections of BOTOX® will go into the area being treated. Over the next few days, the perspiration will gradually decrease until it practically stops for the next 6 months.
Where can I get the treatment?
Non-surgical procedures are carried out in all of The Hospital Group’s clinics and hospitals in the UK and Ireland by our experienced, non-surgical nurses.
What other treatments should I consider?
In the treatment of hyperhidrosis, where strong antiperspirants have been ineffective, BOTOX® is generally agreed to be the best route, providing a safer and more convenient option to the surgical options.
Anti Wrinkle Treatment, Chemical Peels, Skin Rejuvenation
A healthier and more youthful appearance can be achieved with the removal of fine lines and wrinkles from the face. The non surgical solutions below can help you to achieve smoother brighter looking skin.
Anti Wrinkle Treatment
BOTOX® is a simple, non-surgical, anti wrinkle treatment that can temporarily smooth lines for both men and women. One 10-minute treatment, a few tiny injections, and within days there's a noticeable improvement in those persistent frown lines.
The treatment is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those lines to form over time. It works by temporarily reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause persistent lines. Within days you should see an improvement that can last up to around 6 months.
Fillers
As we age, the underlying tissues that keep our skin looking youthful and plumped up begin to break down, often leaving laughter lines, smile lines, crow’s feet or deep creases over the areas where movement occurs.
Juvederm ULTRA® injectable fillers can help fill in these lines and creases, temporarily restoring a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. When injected beneath the skin, fillers plump up creased and sunken areas of the face.
They can also be used to add fullness to the lips and cheeks to improve the overall appearance of the face.
Injectable fillers may be used alone or in conjunction with a resurfacing procedure, such as a skin peel treatment, or following a surgical procedure, such as a facelift. These products are of non-animal origin so avoid the necessity for an allergy test.
NEW Juvéderm® ULTRA
Juvéderm® ULTRA is a new non surgical injectable gel treatment that not only fills wrinkles effectively but gently, as it is the only hyaluronic acid dermal filler to contain local anaesthetic lidocaine, making the injection process particularly gentle. Juvéderm® ULTRA is an advanced smooth formulation effective for longer lasting correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peel is most commonly performed to enhance your appearance and your confidence. A formula is applied which gently removes the top layer of skin to leave a fresher complexion and smoother, brighter looking skin.
Hyperhidrosis
The main reason to have this form of treatment is to treat unsightly and embarrassing excessive perspiration in the underarm area, otherwise known as hyperhidrosis. The area is injected with botox, which reduces sweating in the area for up to 6 months.
