Facial sweating injections

How anti-wrinkle injections are used in facial sweating treatment

Sweating is a mechanism the body uses to regulate its temperature. Sweating cools the body by when it is evaporated by drawing heat away from the skin.

Excessive sweating is a problem where the body produces sweat, even when you’re at normal temperature. Certain medical conditions can cause excessive facial sweating. These include thyroid dysfunction and hormonal conditions, but other people have idiopathic sweating, with no identifiable cause.

The compound used to soften wrinkles has a secondary effect that switches off sweat glands. It does this by interrupting the signals they receive from the nerves. We can therefore use anti-wrinkle injections to treat facial sweating, especially on the forehead, brow and upper lip.

We place the anti-wrinkle injections directly into the skin itself when treating facial sweating. By turning off the sweat glands, they don’t produce sweat, and you won’t experience facial sweating. When used for sweating, we call them anti-sweat injections.

How to treat excessive facial sweating

Excessive facial sweating is best treated using facial sweating injections. These provide a great balance between convenience, cost and effect. We inject small amounts of anti-wrinkle product into the skin where you experience unwanted sweating. The product turns off the sweat glands with results lasting 6-12 months on average. When treating forehead and brow sweating, you’ll also see an improvement in any wrinkles in the area. This is because the injections will also relax your facial muscles, reducing skin bunching.

Reducing forehead, hairline, brow, upper lip and facial sweating with anti-wrinkle injections

Here at Cosmetic Connection, we offer injections for facial hyperhidrosis. A problem when uncontrollable sweating affects your forehead, brow or upper lip.

We generally scatter anti-sweat product across the entire forehead when treating sweating here. This ensures an even result. It also ensures that the movement of your forehead remains balanced, as the treatment will relax the forehead muscle. We also advise treating the brow when having forehead sweating injections. This helps to offset the relaxation of the forehead muscle, keeping your eyebrows in a natural position. We treat brow sweating by placing injections along your brow, with patients also reporting improvements in their frown line wrinkles.

If you are concerned about upper lip sweating, we inject the product into your upper lip skin. We must treat your upper lip conservatively to avoid weakening your lip muscles.

Understanding Excessive Facial Sweating

Excessive facial sweating is a medical condition that’s clinically called facial hyperhidrosis. This describes overactive sweat glands.

It’s relatively common, affecting just under 5% of people.

Sweating is a way for our body to regulate temperature. In hyperhidrosis, sweating occurs even when you aren’t hot.

Craniofacial hyperhidrosis is the scientific name for excess facial sweating. It can affect your head, scalp, and face.

The problem with excessive facial sweating is that its visible for everyone to see. This can leave you feeling self-conscious in social situations.

There is every reason to treat excessive facial sweating. No-one wants to feel uncomfortable around others, worrying if they’ve noticed the beads of sweat running down their face.

How does excessive facial sweating occur? Who does facial sweating affect? And why does facial sweating affect them?

There are two types of facial hyperhidrosis:

Primary hyperhidrosis: the most common type of hyperhidrosis. It occurs when extreme sweating is not related to another condition or medication.
Secondary hyperhidrosis is when a medical condition or medication is responsible.
Some conditions related to hyperhidrosis are anxiety, medications, menopause, and thyroid dysfunction.

Excessive Facial Sweating Treatment Options

If you find that your face is frequently dripping with sweat, the first step is to catch up with your GP. They can work out if your sweating is due to an underlying medical condition.

If you are all clear, and there is no identifiable cause, then we can use cosmetic injectables to treat your facial sweating.

Cosmetic Injectables for Facial Sweating

Excessive sweating injections block the communication between nerves and sweat glands. They do this by stopping the release of acetylcholine from the nerve ending, which normally tells the glands to produce sweat.

By using anti-sweat injectables (the same as anti-wrinkle), we can stop acetylcholine release, and effectively turn off your sweat glands.

During your consult, we assess the affected areas to map out the treatment site. We can also use a starch-iodine test to confirm the areas responsible for your sweating.

The result typically lasts months. As they’re temporary, there’s no need for concern around permanently changing your body.

Treating excessive facial sweating with injections is a simple, comfortable and quick treatment. We apply numbing cream to the skin of the injection sites to minimise discomfort. The injection itself is very quick, with most treatments taking just a few minutes.

The result of your facial sweating injections will start to work in a few days. The final result is seen about 2 weeks later.

You can expect your anti-sweating treatment results to last for around 3–9 months. You can maintain the effect as needed. Consistently maintaining your facial sweating injections can even increase the longevity.
