Hyperhidrosis Injections

A consultation is essential, prior to taking any of the medical aesthetic treatments.

A brief telephone consultation will enable us to asses that you are eligible for a full consultation and treatment.

Botulinum toxin is a prescriptive product where approval of client’s suitability must be received via a medical prescriber.

How is the botulinum toxin prepared?

The botulinum toxin is stored in the refrigerator until such time as it will be administered, and is prepared just before being administered for the best quality results.

A sterile station is prepared for the administration of the botulinum toxin injections, where the solution is prepared. The botulinum toxin is then drawn up into a very fine syringe ready to inject.

What will the treatment involve?

Your practitioner will complete a thorough consultation to ascertain that botulinum toxin is a suitable treatment for you. If so, the consultation details are passed over to a medical prescriber for suitability and the prescription to be approved.

During treatment the area to be treated is cleansed and sterilised. Then the botulinum toxin solution is injected into the desired area.

The treatment takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Allow extra time if you want the application of a local anesthetic.

Please advise your practitioner if you have an allergy to, or have ever had a reaction to, any such anaesthetic.

The procedure is very quick – a short, sharp pain during the injection may be felt.

You are invited back to the clinic for a review to ascertain if any modifications are required to ensure the desired results have been achieved.

Are Hyperhidrosis injections safe?
Botulinum toxin has been in medical use for more than four decades and thousands of men and women have received Hyperhidrosis injections in the UK every year.
Botulinum toxin is administered in such a way that it only affects your muscles and sweat glands and it does not reach any other part of the body.
Providing the Hyperhidrosis injections are administered by a qualified, competant practitioner, the risks are extremely minimal.
Hyperhidrosis injections are administered by our senior aesthetician practitioner to ensure that quality and safety is paramount.

Does it hurt?
The procedure is generally pain free as a local anesthetic is applied to the treated area prior to the administration of the injections. If you opt out of the local anesthetic a mild discomfort can be experienced due to the small needle injections involved. Care is taken to make it as comfortable as possible.
As with all injections there may be some mild temporary discomfort and redness in the direct injection site, which subsides quickly.

How many treatments do I need?
One treatment is required every 3 to 6 months.

You will notice results 4 to 10 days after a single treatment.
How long will the results last?
The results can last up to 6 months.
