botulinum toxin for excessive sweating

Sweating can make everyone uncomfortable. Nothing is more unpleasant than having halos under the arms during a meeting because of the stress or the high temperatures.

But sometimes sweat doesn’t occur because of the heat, but because you suffer from excessive sweating, which is a consequence of the glands overactivity.

Excessive sweating can also be an embarrassment because of the smell.

Did you know that you can dramatically reduce perspiration with a simple and natural procedure using botulinum toxin ?

botulinum toxin naturally reduces perspiration.

botulinum toxin is known for its wrinkle reducing action, but less known for its anti-perspiration effects.

When used for wrinkles, botulinum toxin injections act on the neurotransmitter that carries the contraction information to the muscle. botulinum toxin will thus inhibit the contraction. The same thing happens with the neurotransmitter responsible for sending perspiration information to the glands : the botulinum toxin injections will inhibit the sweat secretion.

Some people use botulinum toxin injections to reduce sweating during the summer heat, and feel more comfortable wearing their favorite summer outfits.

Reduce dark circles under the eyes

Dark circles can be caused by aging, fatigue, an unhealthy lifestyle or simply by genetic factors.

Dark circles tend to make your face appear tired and aged, especially as they can widen and develop various colors.

There are several types of dark circles :

– Black, purplish, gray or brown colored rings, which are due to poor blood circulation revealing pigmented blood vessels.

– Hollow rings, caused by a saggy or loose skin, or by the the loss of fat under the eye.

Furthermore, different other skin alterations can tarnish the look of your eyes, like bags under the eyes, or wrinkles and fine lines.

But today, several non intrusive procedures can help fighting the dark circles under the eyes and give your eyes a brighter, more youthful look :

– Hyaluronic acid fillers, which will reshape the under-eye circles and the hollow areas.
– Peeling, which will allow your skin to renew itself, thus creating a rejuvenated appearance.

Reducing the sagging eyelids

botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid injections for the eyelids and blepharoplasty

With age, the skin develops a sagging appearance, because tissues lose firmness and elasticity. Aging is not the only cause of skin slackening, this can also occur after taking up too much weight or loosing weight too fast and too frequently.

The skin slackening generally occurs along with a volume loss in several face areas.

Sagging skin mostly affects the eyelid area, because the skin is thin and fragile.

In order to fight drooping eyelids, restore the volume and give the eye area a more youthful look, two procedures can be used, one non-surgical and the other one surgical :

botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid injections in the eyelids : combining botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid will reshape and revolumize the eyelids, while simultaneously lifting the eyebrow. 

The entire eye area will benefit from this rejuvenating action.
Injections can be a first step before surgery.

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) consists in removing excess skin and fat bulges and even reducing eye wrinkles.

Reducing the crow’s feet

botulinum toxin injections to reduce the crow’s feet

Wrinkles, whether superficial or deep, are signs of years passing. They occur because of skin aging, sometimes accelerated by external factors such as sun exposure, pollutants, alcohol and stress. The skin progressively loses elasticity and starts developing wrinkles.

The eye area is generally the first one showing wrinkles, because the skin is particularly thin.

Crow’s feet are mainly caused by the frequent muscle contractions when we smile. They are also called dynamic wrinkles, or “laugh lines”.

The good news is that we can easily treat the Crow’s feet condition with botulinum toxin injections : they help relaxing the muscles and naturally smooth the wrinkles, giving the whole eye area an improved appearance.

botulinum toxin has indeed a particularly efficient action because it doesn’t treat the wrinkle itself but the muscle which is responsible for it, reducing its contraction.
