Excessive Underarm Sweating

 

​Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating which does not respond to daily antiperspirants. People who suffer from this can feel isolated, self-conscious and anxious in social and work situations often needing to change their clothes or shower multiple times a day.​

 

At Refine Medical Aesthetics treatments are available to decrease the effects of excessive sweating. These treatment works by blocking the nerve signals that instruct the sweat glands to become active. Treatments typically take around 45 minutes and effects become noticeable within two weeks. Injectable treatments are minimally invasive with results lasting between 6 to 12 months. Our treatments can drastically improve the quality of life and confidence of patients affected by this condition.

​

​

Gummy Smile

 

​Our smile has power. Smiling not only elevates our mood and lowers stress, it is also contagious and affects those around us. Every person's smile is unique and should be celebrated. Sometimes smiles that expose a significant portion of gum (a gummy smile) garner unwanted attention and can leave us feeling self-conscious and not empowered to express ourselves fully.

 

Gummy smiles are typically caused by a short or overactive lip muscle that pulls the upper lip higher than the usual amount when smiling. ​Treatments are available to dampen the contraction of overactive muscle and reduce the amount of upper lip lift during smiling.Treatments typically take around 15 minutes and effects become noticeable within 4 to 10 days. These treatments are minimally invasive with results lasting between 3 to 6 months.​

​

​

Tightened Masseter Muscle

​

A tightened Masseter Muscle can cause painful symptoms including jaw clenching and grinding, jaw pain and dental damage. Aesthetically, strong masseter muscles can create the appearance of a heavy and square jawline. 

​

The masseter muscle is the powerhouse muscle that allows us to chew and open and close the jaw correctly. Treatments are available to dampen the contraction of overactive muscle in order to treat symptoms without taking away its primary function. Results aim to ease clenching and grinding and associated pain and also slim the face. Treatments typically take around 15 minutes and effects become noticeable within 4 to 10 days. These treatments are minimally invasive with results generally lasting 3 to 6 months.​
