Hyperhidrosis® Treatment

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is a disorder that defines individuals who sweat more to maintain optimal temperature. It affects approximately 3% of the population; about 950,000 Canadians.

The most commonly affected areas are:

• Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
• Hands (palmar hyperhidrosis)
• Feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)
• Face (facial hyperhidrosis)

Botox Hyperhidrosis® is approved for use in patients with excessive sweating problems.

The results take effect within 24 hours and generally lasts 6-8 months.

• Most insurance companies cover this treatment.

Cosmetic® Treatment

Botox Cosmetic® is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium Botulinum bacteria which works by reducing the activity of muscles.

It is a simple non surgical treatment that produces noticeable improvements in frown lines and crows feet within a few days of injections.

The treatment is performed with a few tiny injections in the muscle under the skin. Botox prevents muscles from contracting therefore
diminishing skin folds overlying the injected muscles, giving you a more relaxed appearance.

• The treatment lasts 3-6 months and can be repeated at recommended intervals.

How does BOTOX ® Cosmetic work?

• BOTOX ® Cosmetic is directed at the facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles.
• BOTOX® Cosmetic targets dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscular contractions such as frowning and squinting.
• BOTOX Cosmetic works by relaxing the muscles causing the dynamic wrinkles
• This results in a more refreshed and relaxed appearance
• Continued use of this treatment softens expression lines which helps to “stop the clock” as far as the development of lines is concerned or even “turn back the hands of time” as far as further deepening of lines.
• Results are noticeable within 4-5 days

• The treatment is quick and involves no downtime.
