Friendly toxin brings
Summer benefits
It might sound slightly scary,
but the Botulinum Toxin Service
offered by the Island’s Orchard
Cosmetic Skin Clinic is going
from strength to strength.
The clinic’s team of doctors offers
Botulinum toxin to treat facial wrinkles
and underarm sweating, but they are
also developing the service to offer
treatments for hand and feet sweating,
as well as migraine.
Botulinum toxin (commonly known as
Botox) is a natural protein produced by
the Clostridium Botulinum bacterium.
Tiny amounts are injected into wrinkle-
causing muscles, temporarily blocking
nerve impulses and allowing those
muscles to relax. This results in smoother,
younger-looking skin.
When used for sweating it blocks the
nerves which supply the sweat glands so
they don’t produce sweat.
Dr Hayley Elsmore says: “Now is a
great time to consider Botulinum toxin
treatment for underarm sweating.
Hyperhidrosis is a significant problem
for many people, and causes discomfort
and embarrassment. Botulinum toxin
can dramatically reduce, and in some
cases completely stop, underarm
sweating. The effect can last 6-9 months
and relieves the need for changing your
shirt several times a day!”
“That means it’s possible to enjoy the
summer with younger, fresher-looking
skin, and discover long-lasting relief
from sweating!”
