Your questions answered

What is anti-wrinkle injections and how does it work in treating hyperhidrosis?

Anti-wrinkle injections is a purified protein prepared from botulin. When small doses are injected into the skin, it effectively blocks the nerves that supply sweat glands. This prevents the glands from producing sweat.

When is the right time to consider anti-wrinkle injections as a treatment option?

If topical treatments such as antiperspirants and medications have proved unsuccessful, it could be the right time to consider anti-wrinkle injections.

Anti-wrinkle injections is only effective in treating small areas (such as underarms) and is therefore not suitable for treating generalised hyperhidrosis.

How effective is the treatment?

Medical studies and patient testimonials have confirmed that anti-wrinkle injections reduces sweating and improves lifestyle. Obviously, results vary from one individual to the next and it’s possible for some sweat glands to be missed by the treatment.

This is easily resolved with a top-up injection. It’s important to know that you will need top-ups every few months to sustain results. Anti-wrinkle injections cannot cure hyperhidrosis – as nerve endings regrow, sweating returns.

Is the treatment painful?

Discomfort during treatment is usually minimal.

How long until sweating reduces?

Most people experience a significant reduction in around four weeks of their first treatment.

Is there anyone who shouldn’t have anti-wrinkle injections?

Generally, anti-wrinkle injections is suitable for people between the ages of 18 to 65 years. However, it should be avoided if:

– You’re pregnant or nursing

– Have Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert Eaton Syndrome

– Have a history of Bell’s Palsy

– Take aminoglycoside antibiotics

– You’re allergic to anti-wrinkle injections, human albumin or sucrose

It’s also important to stop taking aspirin, other NSAIDS, vitamin E, St John’s Wort or ginkgo biloba one week before treatment to minimise bruising.
