Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can be caused by a number of different factors. For some, this is because of an underlying health condition, treatment of which can resolve symptoms. In the majority of cases, the cause of hyperhidrosis is unknown, Botulinum toxin injections can be used to temporarily block the chemical signals from the nerves that trigger sweat glands.
Different areas with excessive sweating, such as armpits and hands can be treated. Results can last up to 6 months.
Gummy Smile
Muscle-relaxing injectables can also be used to reduce a high or “gummy” smile line. Precisely placed injections are used to reduce the contraction of the upper lip, giving natural looking results and a more proportionate smile.
Jawline Refinement
Also known as a Nefertiti Facelift, jawline refinement involves temporary relaxation of strong neck muscles to help reduce the pulling force of these muscles on the skin. The resultant effect is that the skin is more uplifted, reducing appearance of jowls and redefining the appearance of the jawline and neck.
Muscle Pain and Tooth Grinding
Tooth grinding, also known as Bruxism, can cause a variety of symptoms including tooth sensitivity, jaw pain and headaches. We utilise injectables to relax the muscles responsible for tooth grinding to reduce inflammation and other associated symptoms. The procedure provides effects that can last for several months, giving long lasting relief from symptoms.
Lip Enhancement
For those with a fine upper lip wanting to improve definition and fullness, carefully placed injectables can be used to gently relax the muscles of the upper lip. Temporary relaxation of these muscles gives the effect of a fuller lip by subtly flaring the upper border of the lip, also known as a “lip flip”. Results are natural-looking and last a number of months.
