Brow/ Crows Feet Freezing
These treatments offer solutions to frown lines, crows feet and the sagging neck.
Muscle relaxants have been used for years to treat muscular problems including eyelid spasm and facial spasms. The ageing face has wrinkles and furrows which may develop as a result of weakened Collagen in the skin from sun exposure and gravity, or due to excess facial muscle action on the skin.
A highly popular and well known cosmetic treatment reversibly paralyses muscles ('Brow-freezing') to smooth wrinkles and prevent deeper lines forming. It can therefore be used to treat such facial lines caused primarily by the action of the muscles on the skin. Ideal areas for treatment are those wrinkles caused by muscles that have no significant function such as the deep creases between the eyebrows, crows feet and forehead lines.
Treatment can also be used to smooth the skin of the neck and décolletage.
Good results can be obtained after a single injection and the effect generally lasts between 3 and 4 months. The procedure is simple to perform and most patients find the injections only cause a mild sting lasting seconds.
Repeat treatments are usually needed approximately every 3-4 months over a 12 month period. It is encouraging to note that clinical trials report that some patients who have had treatment over 12 months only require further treatments once or twice the following year. It is important to be aware that it takes between 5-7 days for the treatment to work.
Hyperhydrosis (Excessive sweating)
The same products are now also used to treat excessive perspiration by injecting into the sweat glands in the armpits or hands or feet. The procedure is quick, safe and has dramatic results, with many patients reporting almost complete disappearance of sweating.
This treatment really can change lives.
