Midlands' cosmetic surgeon Dalvi Humzah is bringing welcome
relief to patients suffering from Hyperhidrosis, an excessive form
of sweating.
Based at The Nuffield Hospital, Wolverhampton and Ramsey
Healthcare West Midlands Mr Humzah's private practice, Plastic and
Dermatological Surgery (PDS), is introducing patients to a
needle-free Botox procedure designed to offer a non-invasive
solution to men and women suffering from unwanted, excessive and
embarrassing sweating.
Eradicating the discomfort and phobia of a needle, Botox is
administered via a needle-free device into a patient's armpit to
stop the production of sweat.
The procedure only takes 15 minutes and results can be seen up
to four to six months after treatment.
It will also be particularly beneficial for men and women who
suffer from excessive sweating due to nerves, anxiety or for those
attending an important event such as a wedding or conference.
Affecting over one million people in the UK, Hyperhidrosis is a
clinical condition which causes parts of the body to sweat beyond
its physiological needs.
Co-chairman of the UK Botulinum Toxin Group for Aesthetics, Mr
Humzah says too many men and women suffering from Hyperdidrosis are
avoiding treatment due to a fear of needles.
He said: "Excessive sweating due to Hyperhidrosis can force
individuals to change their clothes every few hours. It can also
complicate business and social interactions and in severe cases,
cause serious practical consequences such as making it hard to hold
a pen, grip a car steering wheel or shake hands.
"With this needle-free procedure, patients can be confident in
seeking a long term solution for excess sweating.
"Administering small doses of Botox into the skin blocks the
actions of the nerves that supple the eccrine glands, thus
preventing the glands from producing sweat. It can be safely used
for palms, underarms, face and forehead excessive sweating.
"With results lasting up to four to eight months, the procedure
is an important step forward for patients and can be life
changing."
Treatment costs from £450 per procedure and is available
from Mr Humzah's private practices in Worcester, Wolverhampton,
Halesowen, Cheltenham and Solihull.
Plastic and Dermatological Surgery (PDS) is based at Nuffield
Health Wolverhampton Hospital, Ramsay Healthcare West Midlands
Hospital (Halesowen), Nuffield Health Cheltenham Hospital and
