Hyperhidrosis

The treatment usually takes on average three to five days to start working. The treatment can take up to two full weeks to reach optimal results.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a temporary procedure and at first, you may find that your treatment results will last several months. If you maintain your treatment appointments with the frequency recommended (every six months) the longevity of each treatment may last longer.

While cosmetic medicine is not without complications or unwanted side effects, we do take every precaution to minimise and limit any complications to offer a safe and comfortable service. Reported side effects include but are not limited to the following: redness in the treatment site (usually lasting two to three hours), discomfort, bruising, swelling, dull heavy sensation, occasional headache.
Individual results can vary and are not guaranteed.

24 hours prior to your appointment, please shave your underarms, and avoid alcohol or using deodorants or antiperspirants.

Do not take any muscle relaxant medications for three to five days prior to your appointment.

It’s best to avoid drinking alcohol for a day or two before and after the procedure. As alcohol increases fluid retention and thins the blood, it can increase any mild bruising at the injected site.

Please advise us of any medications including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Having anti-wrinkle injections with certain other medicines may cause side effects.
Advise us about any muscle or nerve conditions, such as MND or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, Myasthenia Gravis, or Lambert-Eaton Syndrome, as you may be at increased risk of side effects including difficulty swallowing and difficulty breathing from typical doses of anti-wrinkle injections.

Immediately after treatment, there may be small bumps, redness and swelling to the treated area. This is a normal reaction and usually settles in a few hours. During this time, we advise that you stay upright and don’t lie down.
If you experience a mild headache after treatment, please treat with Paracetamol. Do not take Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Nurofen or other anti-inflammatory medications, as this may increase bruising.
Please refrain from using deodorant for 12 hours after treatment to reduce skin irritation. Strenuous exercise and rubbing or massaging the area should be avoided for 24 hours post treatment.

Heat can increase the chances of bruising at the injection site. You should avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs or tanning for four hours after having your treatment. It is also best to avoid strenuous aerobic exercise, or rubbing or massaging the treatment area for 24 hours.

If you are still experiencing excessive sweating 14 days after your treatment, please contact your SkinSpaceUK clinic.
