Hyperhidrosis
Free yourself from excessive sweating.
Overview
Excessive sweating, particularly in the underarm area, is treated very well by Botox injections. It works by blocking the signals that the nerves send to the sweat glands, which prevents them from producing sweat. We also provide RF microneedling which works very well to reduce excessive sweating in the armpit area.
Hyperhidrosis FAQs
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature.
Common treatment options for hyperhidrosis include antiperspirants, medication, Botox injections and RF microneedling.
Hyperhidrosis is a chronic condition that can be managed, but there is no cure.
Certain lifestyle changes such as avoiding triggers and wearing breathable clothing may help reduce hyperhidrosis symptoms.
Hand Rejuvenation
Lend yourself a helping hand.
Overview
Hand rejuvenation aims to restore a more youthful appearance to the hands. Our hands are exposed to weather, wear, and damage. Due to the loss in the production of collagen and elastin as we age, our skin loses it’s ability to recover from stretching and folding. The level of hyaluronic acid, which keeps the skin hydrated, also decreases. We offer injectable skin boosters, such as Profhilo Body and Sunekos, for the bio-remodelling of skin laxity. It is highly effective in the rejuvenation of tired, crêpey, and wrinkled hands.
Hand Rejuvenation FAQs
Signs of aging in the hands can include age spots, thinning skin, and loss of volume.
Hand rejuvenation treatments can improve the appearance of the hands by addressing these signs of aging and last around 4-6 months.
Treatments can include chemical peels and skin boosters. At your consultation appointment all options will be discussed with you.
Hand rejuvenation procedures may cause some discomfort, but this can be managed with local anesthesia. Our minimally – invasive procedures take a few hours in most instances to recover from.
Profhilo Body
Restore natural hydration and firmness.
Overview
Profhilo is an injectable treatment of purified hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring bodily substance that binds 10,000 times its weight in water within the skin. It improves the appearance of the skin by restoring its natural hydration and firmness. Profhilo is most commonly used on the face, but it can also be used on other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, arms and knees.
Profhilo Body FAQs
Profhilo is a type of injectable treatment that contains hyaluronic acid and stimulates collagen production.
Areas that can be treated with Profhilo include the arms, abdomen, and thighs.
Results from a Profhilo treatment can be seen within a few weeks, and typically last up to 6 months.
While side effects are rare, patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection site. We use an antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal solution to prepare the skin and ensure good cross-infection control to try to minimise the risk of infection.
RF Microneedling
Stimulate body’s natural healing.
Overview
RF microneedling is not only used on the face but also on the body. It creates micro-injuries and delivers heat energy stimulating the body’s natural healing response, triggering collagen and elastin production, as well as causing skin tightening. At higher levels used in the body it can treat many concerns such as stretch marks, cellulite and scars.
RF microneedling FAQs
During the treatment, a numbing cream is typically applied to the treated area to minimise any discomfort. Most individuals report feeling a mild sensation of heat and slight pressure during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated.
The number of sessions required varies based on individual factors such as the specific concern being addressed and the desired outcome. Typically, a series of three to six sessions spaced several weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Your practitioner will assess your skin and recommend a personalised treatment plan.
After the treatment, there may be some temporary redness, mild swelling, and minor pinpoint bleeding at the treatment sites. These effects generally subside within a few days. Most people can resume their regular activities shortly after the procedure, but it’s important to follow any post-treatment instructions provided by your practitioner.
Results can vary, but many individuals notice improvements in their skin texture and appearance within a few weeks after the initial session. Collagen remodeling continues over time, so optimal results may be visible several weeks to months after completing the full treatment series.
RF microneedling can provide long-lasting results, but it does not stop the natural aging process. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain and further enhance the results over time.
