    Also known as Botulinum toxin. When injected in small doses ‘Freeze’ injections block nerve signals responsible for sweating.

However, ‘Freeze’ injections should not be used in patients with, neuromuscular disorders, those who are taking certain muscle relaxants and antibodies such as aminoglycosides, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with infection or inflammation at the proposed site of injections and bleeding disorders.

    When can i expect to see results?

    Anti-wrinkle ‘Freeze’ injections can take between 2 days and 2 weeks to take full effect.

    Any injection can hurt, but the needles used for ‘Freeze’ injections are very small so pain is usually minimal. In addition, i offer additional local anesthesia to all patients to ensure the procedure is comfortable and pain-free.
