Hyperhydrosis
Botox is effectively used to combat hyperhydrosis, a condition characterised by excessive sweating. This innovative treatment works by blocking acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter responsible for activating sweat glands. When Botox is carefully injected into the skin, it significantly reduces sweating by temporarily inhibiting nerve signals to the sweat glands. For hyperhydrosis, Botox involves precise, small injections into commonly affected areas such as the armpits, palms, or soles of the feet. The process is swift, typically completed in just a few minutes, with the peak effect occurring 2 weeks post-injection. Patients can expect relief from excessive sweating to last around 6 months, after which follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain the results.

What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Over time, your skin and its supportive muscles, suffer the effects of aging. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is caused due to our skin losing elasticity which eventually causes visible changes. Daily expressions such as frowning or concentrating utilises muscles in between your brows, as these muscles contract, your skin begins to furrow and fold when you squint causing the appearance of crow’s feet or frown lines. Modern day medical aesthetics allows us to treat the signs of aging and refresh your natural appearance.
Injectables are a quick and easy way to combat lines without the need for surgery, allowing us to target only the small, specific muscles responsible for unwanted lines and wrinkles, meaning your normal facial expressions will remain unaffected. Administered by a member of our team we can subtly smooth and soften the skin, creating a more youthful complexion.
DermaPhi prides itself on using the most advanced products available in modern medicine, our anti-wrinkle injections work by utilising Botulinum toxin, a type of protein. Botulinum toxin works by blocking the transition of chemical messages sent from the nerve which cause the muscle to contract. The treatment significantly reduces the number of muscle movements that cause expression lines (dynamic lines).
Anti-wrinkle injections should be considered when these expression lines start to appear lightly at rest. DermaPhi uses the most innovative type of Botulinum Toxin Type A. This contains an extensive purification system removing complex proteins from the Botulinum Toxin formula and providing results with longer lasting effects.
We will inject in such a way that you can have more or less movement depending on your preference. Our skilled professionals will provide you with an in depth consultation of past history and desired results, and then recommend the most ideal type of neurotoxin for you. We also recommend the maintenance schedule you can expect in order to facilitate long term results.
Treatment Day
Following your consultation, a medical questionnaire will be filled out which will deem whether you are suitable for treatment.
​
Your skin will then be cleansed and the botox solution drawn up. We do not use numbing creaming for botox injections as we feel it is unnecessary for this treatment, however this can still be used if requested. Botox administration is considered relatively pain free and will be over within a few minutes.
Small bumps where the botox has been placed may be visible however these will perish within the next few hours. The risk of brusing from botox is relatively low however we ask that you do not lie down for 4 to 6 hours after treatment, you refrain from physical activities and extreme heat following the procedure. It is also important to avoid massaging the area or putting pressure on the injection site for a few days
You will then attend a follow up appointment 2 week prior to treatment to ensure you are happy with the treatment. As botox can have varied affects on different people, the amount given may need to be topped up.
