Excessive Sweating (hyperhidrosis)

December 15, 2009 | Posted by Boutique of Cosmetic Dermatology in Cosmetic Injectables | No Comments »

woman suffering from excessive sweating Excessive Sweating (hyperhidrosis)Abnormal increased excessive sweating is known as hyperhidrosis.

The condition can be caused by obesity, hormonal changes associated with menopause, diabetes, certain medications and an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism).

No need to suffer anymore embarrassing, awkward situations. We have the solution.

Botox is used to block the action of the nerves that control sweat glands, and the effects can last from six to nine months.


Botox is a registered Hyperhidrosis treatment that involves several small injections into the skin of Botulinum Toxin.

Botox itself is a solution of protein which when injected into the skin, shuts down the nerve endings which lead to the eccrine sweat glands, causing sweat production to come to a standstill.

The effects are temporary with time-frames of around 6-9 months of relief from excessive sweating.

After this time frame the nerve endings have reformed and the sweat glands will begin to produce sweat again.

As Hyperhidrosis is now medically approved as a skin condition some private medical funds will offer to pay for the treatment in full, providing that you’ve exhausted all other options for underarm sweating.

We advise you get in touch with your medical insurance to talk about cover for the treatment before you book in for a Botox session.


Common Questions about Botox for Hyperhidrosis

  1. Are there side effects from botox for hyperhidrosis?
    Yes there are certain side effects to Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis, although they’re not very common. One of which is to do with compensatory sweating. Clinical tests have shown that some patients have experienced sweating in other areas of the body after treatment.

    On rare occasions Botox can spread from the injection site to a nearby nerve that supplies the muscle causing temporary weakness of the arm. Flu like symptoms have also been reported after treatment, but they have dissipated within a few days. The only other obvious side effect of this treatment is that the injected area may remain tender for a while.

  2. How long is the procedure and is it painful?
    The procedure usually takes about 20 minutes from start to finish.

    The procedure is made comfortable by cooling the area to be treated and using a numbing cream.

  3. How long does it take for botox to work and what is the cost?
    After the initial treatment the effects are instant, the treatment can range between $1000 to $1500 depending on how much Botox is required.

No two faces are the same, so the trick is to be able to see which area needs a little bit of enhancement and make it as natural-looking as possible, while still making sure the patient can see a difference.

We can use Juvederm in tandem with Botox injections to produce a rejuvenating effect, we can use non-surgical procedures to create something like a surgical effect without resorting to surgery.

There’s a substantial price difference between injectables and surgery. Surgery needs to be done with anaesthesia if not in hospital, which adds to the costs.

Not many people can just say ‘okay, I want two weeks off’, and surgery means recovery time, potential scarring, risks of anaesthetic and associated with the invasiveness of it.

Wrinkle Treatments

December 15, 2009 | Posted by Boutique of Cosmetic Dermatology in Cosmetic Injectables | 1 Comment »

By using botulinum toxin it provides a simple non-surgical treatment that works by relaxing facial muscles, thereby reducing and smoothing away frown lines and wrinkles. Muscle relaxants is a diluted form of botulinum toxin, a purified protein manufactured by a pharmaceutical laboratory. It acts by reducing the nerve stimulation to muscles and therefore induces relaxation.

It is administered by a few tiny injections under the skin. It is safe as there are no major or harmful side effects. We commonly treat the crow’s feet around the eyes, the central frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) and the worry lines across the forehead. We also successfully use it to treat patients that suffer from headaches and excessive sweating. By artful placement of wrinkle treatments, attractive character can be maintained.

A natural appearance is achieved by preserving normal expression while relaxing away unwanted lines. A youthful appearance is created by softening those features that reflect the ageing process. With careful placement, our talented and experienced Doctor can achieve a youthful appearance on a patient while maintain their natural expression with character.

lip enhancement Lip EnhancementAs we age our lip tends to get thinner losing definition, you may also notice the appearance of fine lines appearing around the lip which can be very ageing and cause your lipstick to ‘bleed’.

The lips are a focal point of the face, we can create fuller, kissable, natural looking lips and fill up those lines that will enhance your features, natural beauty and take years off your face without anyone questioning if you have had ‘work done’.

Juvederm injectable dermal filler is a nonsurgical, doctor-administered treatment.

As it contains Lidocaine the treatment is pain free with minimum discomfort. It is made from hyaluronic acid – a naturally occurring substance that plays a vital role in hydrating skin and replenishing its natural glow.

The difference between Juvederm and other dermal fillers is that its formulation is more cross-linked, this means Juvederm should actually last longer.
