FAQ

What is Botulinum Toxin and how does it work?

Botulinum Toxin is produced by a Bacterium called Clostridium Botulinum.

Botulinum toxin works by blocking the communication between the nerves and the sweat glands. This results in a drastic reduction in sweat production.

What can I expect from the treatment?

Toxin injections are a safe, effective and minimally invasive treatment that will significantly reduce the production of sweat by blocking the nerve signalling to the sweat glands.

It can be used to treat excessive sweating in several areas of the body:

  • Under arms
  • Scalp
  • Hands
  • Feet
  •  
  • Who will perform the treatment and what products do you use?

The treatment is performed by Dr Cristina, it’s delivered using very small needles and does not require any form of anaesthesia.

It’s very well tolerated, with most people reporting only mild discomfort.

How long does the treatment take?

Each session lasts about 30 minutes.

Prior to the treatment you will have to schedule a consultation with the Doctor to be assessed for suitability, to discuss goals and to choose the best treatment option for you.

During this consultation you’ll be made aware of treatment’s benefits and side effects and you will have to sign a consent form.

How long do the results last for?

The effects of the toxin start to become apparent 3 to 14 days post treatment and they last for 6-9 months. 

Are there any side effects?

Common side effects are:

Pain or stinging at the injection site
Swelling, redness

Mild bleeding and bruising at the injection site
Numbness
Headache

All these usually settle spontaneously within a few days after treatment.

What is the downtime and after care?

Toxin injections have no down time, you can go back to work and resume your activities right after the treatment.

However there are some recommendations to follow in order to maximize the effects of your treatment such as:

– Do not consume alcohol or perform vigorous exercise for 24 hours

– Avoid hot bath, saunas and steam rooms or other extreme sources of heat for 48 hours

– Do not massage the treated area for 24 hours

-Do not wash your hair for 24 hours after scalp injections

– Avoid non-steroidal analgesia as they might worsen bruising
