Oversweating

Botox is a preparation of protein which, when small doses are injected into the skin, blocks the nerves that supply the eccrine glands; this prevents the glands from producing sweat.

During your free initial consultation, your medical cosmetic practitioner will assess your suitability for this treatment.

The treatment will be carried out by Kevin Loughlin D.C., BSc (Hons), BSc (Chiro), RGN, a Medically Certified Cosmetic Practitioner. He has over 22 years experience working in both the NHS and Private Practice.

Kevin has the relevant training and experience required to ensure that you receive the very best of care and attention. As well as administering treatments, he is also highly qualified to advise on what is the most appropriate treatment plan for each of his patients.

We offer free, no obligation consultations. This is an opportunity for us to learn more about what you want to achieve and for you to ask any questions you may have. As well as talking you through your treatment options, we will give you more information on the treatment process and what you can expect as a patient of the Hemel Cosmetic Clinic.

Treatment time may last from 30-60 minutes.

You can return to non strenusous normal activitites immediately. It can take up to a week for the Botox to start working properly so it is important not to expect a miraculous disappearance right away. Your physician may ask you to avoid massaging the area or putting pressure on the injection site for a few days, and to avoid strenuous activity. The site may be a little painful and small bruises can form, but these symptoms go away within a day or two.

Some patients experience muscle weakness when they have had botox, but this does wear off eventually. Some patients have experienced an increase in sweating in another part of the body.
The Botox treatment can often cause flu-like symptoms, tiredness and blurred vision, possibly arm and neck ache for those who have injections in their armpits. These are all temporary symptoms and should disappear in a few days, and not everyone experiences them. There are no severely uncomfortable sensations or effects which should affect your daily life and there are rarely any complications

Mild discomfort may be felt, especially in the hands and feet. A local anaesthetic cream may be applied to these areas for comfort.

Before the procedure, you will have a full initial consultation with a medical cosmetic practitioner who will evaluate your suitability for oversweating treatment.
