Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a common condition of increased and excessive sweating. If left undiagnosed and untreated it can cause emotional and social distress.

Sweating is a natural function to keep our bodies at an average temperature. Sweating increases when we exercise, when we are stressed or nervous and when we are hot.

If you find that you are sweating excessively during normal daily activities, having to hide it and take precautions such as showering to prevent sweating, you may have hyperhidrosis.

There are two types of Hyperhidrosis; Primary and Secondary.

Hyperhidrosis does not have an obvious cause and most people suffering from it are healthy.

Primary Hyperhidrosis is where sweating is believed to be a problem with part of the nervous system which controls how we sweat.

Secondary Hyperhidrosis is where there is a cause such as; anxiety, reaction to medication, pregnancy, menopause, infection, hypoglycemia and hyperthyroidism.

At Dental & Skin we treat Hyperhidrosis with a solution that would immediately stop sweating.

It is a safe and convenient way to treat excessive sweating. It prevents sweating by blocking the chemical that produces sweat in the sweat glands.

Anti wrinkle injections is a skin treatment used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and in doing so prevents the signs of ageing.

It is a quick and convenient treatment to smooth out those lines without any need for surgery.

Anti wrinkle therapy has become a massively popular treatment all over the world, with 6 million treatments being carried out every year.

Well known solution is injected into the muscular tissue, and can only be administered by a trained doctor.

The range of time that results last for does vary between patient to patient.

Most Botox treatments last between 2 and a half to 4 months.

At Dental & Skin the areas that we treat with Botox are: frown lines, forehead lines, crows feet, lower eyelid wrinkles, bunny lines, lip lines, chin, marionettes, gummy smile, jaw line reduction and axillary hyperhidrosis.

There is always a risk of side effects with every treatment and Botox is no exception. However, possible side effects are short lived and not harmful.

In one to five percent of cases, there can be mild drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow, which usually goes away within two weeks. Only a very few patients experience slight bruising.

After treatment patients can carry on with their normal daily routine.

We would advise patients to avoid heavy work outs for 24 hours and to avoid rubbing the treated area, this will avoid spreading of injected medication to other areas of the face.

Patients can wear make-up straight away after having anti- wrinkle treatment.

We find that most patients are suitable to receive hyperhidrosis treatment. However, this treatment can not be carried out for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

This treatment can also not be carried out on patients who have diseases related to muscle activity or, who have bleeding disorders.
