Treatment for Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)Hyperhidrosis is due to overactivity of the sweat glands, commonly in the armpits, palms, soles and face. In certain areas it can cause embarrassment and discomfort due to clothes being damp all the time. Initial treatments can include aluminium chloride solutions, or drugs. If these fail Botulinum Toxin can be very helpful. It is administered to the affected area in a series of tiny injections in the skin, which is only minimally uncomfortable. Sweating is reduced by at least half in 95% of patients and the effects last 5-8 months. After which this treatment can be repeated. Contact us for more information. Glycolic Acid PeelsThese are the lighter forms of skin peels and require little or no recovery time. Glycolic acid is applied to the skin for a short period and then chemically neutralised to end the treatment. The procedure rapidly removes the damaged layer of surface skin cells revealing fresher skin and stimulating cell rebuilding and restructuring of deeper layers. This can help the skin appear healthier and more glowing. Cosmedicare Skin Clinic offers 20%, 35% and 70% Glycolic acid peels which would normally be booked as a series of increasing strengths. One peel would not be sufficient. Prices start from £50.
