Neurotoxins
BOTOX TREATMENTS
WHAT IS IT?
Botulinum toxin “Botox” is a prescription-only medicine, which blocks nerve signals to specific muscles. It can be used to temporarily relax targeted muscles to reduce the appearance of fine lines caused by their movement “dynamic lines”. With repeated use it can stop dynamic lines progressing to static lines and improve the appearance of the overlying skin as the muscles begin to exert less of an effect.

What should I do after the treatment?

- Avoid re-applying make-up for at least 6 hours after your treatment to optimise healing and reduce the risk of infection.
- Avoid getting excessively hot (including sauna / steam rooms / sun beds) or any vigorous forms of exercise for at least 48 hours after as this reduces its effect.
- Avoid microdermabrasion / skincare treatments / hydrafacials / rubbing / massaging the area for approx. 48 hours after treatment.
- Avoid electrical stimulation facials, as these counteract the effects of the treatment.
- Limit alcohol consumption for 24 hours before and 48 hours after, as this can cause significantly more bruising.
HYPERHIDROSIS
(Excessive Sweating)
WHAT IS IT?
Sweating is normal when you get hot or do exercise. Excessive sweating can occur even when your body does not need to cool down and can be the result of an underlying condition or medications you may be taking. It can also occur with no obvious underlying reason and can have a significant impact on your day-to-day life.
Botulinum Toxin (Botox) may be a suitable treatment when there are no obvious causes for excessive sweating and other treatments have been exhausted. It works by blocking the nerve signals being transmitted to the sweat glands beneath the skin, so they can no longer produce sweat.
