Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating.
It is most commonly happening in the axilla (armpit), but it can affect other parts of the body too.
Anti-Wrinkle injections can help relieve sweating in all these areas through blocking nerve control of sweating.
If you’re sick of embarrassing sweat patches and want a hyperhidrosis treatment, neurotoxin injections for hyperhidrosis may be the answer.
At Dr Wafaa Clinic the areas we treat include the scalp, forehead, underarms, hands and feet.

Step One – Consultation and Consent
It is important to understand that, whilst dermal fillers are not prescription only medicines, the medication needed to dissolve fillers, hyaluronidase, is. Additionally, the anatomy of the face is complex, it is advisable that you only allow medically qualified practitioners carry out filler treatments.
On arrival at Dr Wafaa Clinic in Reading, Dr Wafaa will complete a detailed personal details and medical history form with you.She will then discuss your medical history , the procedure, any potential side effects, and clearly highlight the realistic, expected result of the treatment.This process should take as long as you need and allow you to weigh up the benefits against the risks.
You will then sign and date your completed consent form.
Photos of the area to be treated will be taken for records and comparison later on with the after result.These Photos might be shared on Social Media for teaching and marketing purpose, but your consent will be taken prior to that.If you don’t prefer the photos to be released, the images will be kept confidential for medical records only.
Step Two – Your Treatment
Your treatment will take around 30 minutes.
The first part of your treatment will be removal of any makeup and sterilisation of the area to be treated with an antibacterial/alcohol wipe.
The area to be treated will then be numbed using an anaesthetic cream to the area 20 minutes or so prior to injection. This helps to numb the area to be treated and reduces pain when the needle is inserted into the skin. The anaesthetic effects of numbing creams like EMLA last around 30-60 minutes.
Dr Wafaa will use a micro-needle or a cannula to inject small amounts of filler into the Jawline and Chin. A variety of techniques can be used, depending on the filler being used and area being treated.
After the filler has been injected, She may manipulate and massage the filler to ensure it is evenly distributed and correctly placed.
Step Three – The Check-Up
You will be offered a free check-up, four weeks after your treatment. This allows Dr Wafaa to check that the dose they administered was appropriate for the agreed outcome and that the healing process is smooth.
Final Step – The Repeat Treatment
Depending on how quickly you metabolise the filler and which product you were treated with, you will require a repeat treatment 9-12 months after your initial treatment.
You will be advised regarding when you may require a repeat treatment.
Chin filler treatment is suitable for anyone who has a ‘weak’ short, retracted chin.
Female patients benefit from an enhanced chin to create a more feminine look and create that beautiful heart-shaped face.
Men can benefit from chin filler to give the appearance of a stronger chin.
Both genders can have chin fillers to reduce the appearance of a chin dimple or even double chin.
On the other side ,Jawline filler is suitable for anyone who wants to improve the definition of their jaw, either because a defined jaw is not something they naturally have or because the jaw has become poorly defined due to age or weight gain.
For both males and females, a sharply defined jaw is a desirable trait thought to improve a person’s overall attractiveness, it can also help to balance other facial features such as a nose or forehead.
At Dr Wafaa Clinic, due to ethical reasons we do have age limit policies with our injectable treatments. Due to the natural development of the face and muscles we have made the decision not to provide dermal, chin or jawline fillers to anyone below the age of 18.
In the week before the treatment, avoid taking aspirin (unless prescribed by a doctor), ibuprofen, vitamin E and fish oil supplements as these may increase bleeding and bruising.
Kindly ensure to inform us of any prescription medication you are taking.
As with most treatments where injections are involved, typical side effects of chin and jawline fillers include slight swelling, redness, tenderness and bleeding around the points where the needle or cannula was inserted. But, these should only last for a few days.
Because beauty isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about feeling confident, glowing, and empowered in your own skin
We offer flexible appointment times, with some evening and weekend availability.
