No Sweat! Botox Helps to Control Hyperhidrosis


Everyone sweats. It's your body's way of cooling itself when you're hot or under stress. However, some people sweat more than others whether its under their arms or on their hands or feet. The resulting sweat marks and body odor often cause severe embarrassment or sometimes even psychological issues. These people suffer from a condition known as hyperhidrosis, a condition that affects one in twenty people worldwide.

Contrary to what some might believe, excessive sweating is treatable. Traditional therapies include antiperspirants, medications or even surgery to remove sweat glands or block nerves that produce sweat. Although effective, there are side effects to surgery and medication, and antiperspirants can only do so much.

Recent developments have revolutionized the way doctors can treat hyperhidrosis by using botulinum toxin, or what is more commonly known as Botox. Botox has quickly become a house hold name for treating wrinkles and fine lines, but when used in a therapeutic application it can also block sweat glands. The quick procedure involves injecting small amounts of Botox in the affected areas. The results are apparent within 2 - 4 days and last up to a year. Most extended health care plans even cover the treatment.

Dr. Alibhai has treated countless patients for hyperhidrosis and all of them have felt so liberated by the results and no longer have to worry about sweating in the wrong places at the wrong time!

We're proud to be the Fraser Valley's leading skin care clinic

These days, there's no shortage of skin and laser clinics in the Vancouver area. As more people discover the incredible effects of laser skin treatments and cosmetic enhancements like Botox and fillers, it's no wonder clinics are popping up all over the place.

In 2001, Dr. Alibhai opened md cosmetic & laser clinic in Abbotsford. His practice quickly grew to become the Fraser Valley's leading skin care clinic and a premiere physician training facility.



So what makes md cosmetic the Fraser Valley's leading clinic? Firstly, the clinic offers the most advanced skin care treatments with the most state of the art equipment, some of which isn't available anywhere else in B.C. In addition to clinic's long list of procedures to treat everything from wrinkles to acne scars, the staff of clinicians are some of the best in the business. In addition, the md staff has the advantage of working closely with one of Canada's most respected aesthetic physicians, Dr. Haneef Alibhai.



Dr. Alibhai is the former President of the Canadian Association of Aesthetic Medicine and is considered a world renowned keynote speaker for the aesthetic medicine industry. He's one of the only certified physician trainers for Botox and fillers in Western Canada. As a result, md cosmetic & laser clinic has become the preferred training centre for new physicians and dentists. Dr. Alibhai has trained over a thousand physicians through his courses and workshops held at md clinic throughout the year.


With all the best products and treatments plus a long list of credentials what else could make a skin care clinic more reputable? The answer: highly satisfied patients with proven skin care results. md cosmetic has got that covered too. We make sure each and every one of our patients is consistently satisfied with his or her experience at our clinic.

Ask any of Dr. Alibhai's patients and you'll hear why his clinic is one of the best in the area. The staff is professional, the medi-spa experience is impeccable and the results are always outstanding!
