Muscle Relaxants

This treatment is effective on: face and under-arms

Many deep-set lines particularly in the upper face are due to over-activity of the muscles.  This applies to people, regardless of age, whose facial expressions predispose them to lines of this kind.

This simple procedure involves injecting tiny amounts of muscle relaxant into the muscle which suppresses over-activity. The effect of this procedure is that lines become much reduced or disappear completely.

The procedure itself takes only a few minutes and the result can last up to 9 months.

Hyperhydrosis (Excessive perspiration)

The treatment involves an injection of an anti-perspiration drug into the localised area. The treated areas are noticeably drier after about 4-5 days and can remain so for up to 1 year. This procedure can be used to significantly reduce excessive perspiration in any area of the body. Commonly used in the underarm area, face, feet and hands.
