Medical & Therapeutic Treatments
(Prescription-only where applicable)
Many patients are unaware that injectable treatments can provide relief for a number of medical and functional conditions, as well as aesthetic concerns. These treatments focus on improving quality of life by reducing symptoms caused by excessive muscle activity or overactive sweat glands.
As an Independent Prescriber, Advanced Nurse Practitioner and Advanced Medical Aesthetic Practitioner, Jenny provides a range of therapeutic injectable treatments following a comprehensive consultation and assessment. Every treatment is tailored to your individual symptoms, medical history and treatment goals, with patient safety and evidence-based practice at the forefront of every treatment plan.
Jenny is also a registered healthcare professional with the International Hyperhidrosis Society (SweatHelp®), reflecting her commitment to evidence-based practice and continuing professional development in the management of excessive sweating.
Consultation-Led Care
Medical and therapeutic treatments always begin with a detailed consultation, during which Jenny will review your symptoms, medical history and treatment goals.
Where treatment is appropriate, a personalised treatment plan will be developed. If an injectable treatment is not the most suitable option, alternative advice or referral may be recommended.
Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating beyond that required to regulate body temperature. It can affect many aspects of daily life, including confidence, work, social situations and clothing choices. Many patients have struggled with symptoms for years before seeking treatment.
Injectable treatment works by temporarily reducing the chemical signals between the nerves and the sweat glands within the treated area. This helps significantly reduce excessive sweating while allowing the body to continue regulating temperature normally through untreated areas.
As a registered healthcare professional with the International Hyperhidrosis Society, Jenny follows current evidence-based practice and treatment recommendations when assessing and managing excessive sweating.
Common treatment areas
Underarms
Palms of the hands

Most patients require a single treatment session, with repeat treatment when symptoms gradually return.
Typical treatment
The number of injections varies depending on the treatment area and severity of symptoms.
-
Most patients notice a significant reduction in sweating within 1–2 weeks.
Results typically last 4–9 months, although this varies between individuals and treatment areas.
-
Mild redness
Temporary swelling
Mild tenderness
Most patients return to normal activities immediately following treatment.
-
Bruising
Temporary discomfort

-
Prices start from £250 depending on area treated.
Bruxism / Teeth Grinding
Bruxism is the involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth, often occurring during sleep, although some people also clench their jaw during the day without realising. Over time, excessive muscle activity can lead to jaw pain, headaches, worn teeth, enlarged jaw muscles and discomfort around the jaw joints.
Treatment works by reducing excessive activity within the masseter muscles, helping relieve tension whilst preserving normal jaw function for eating, speaking and facial expression.
Many patients notice not only an improvement in symptoms but also a gradual softening of the jawline where muscle enlargement has developed over time.
Common symptoms
Teeth grinding
Jaw clenching
Jaw discomfort
Facial tension
Morning headaches
Enlarged jaw muscles
Treatment plan
Usually one treatment session every 3–6 months, depending on symptoms.
Typical treatment
Treatment is individually tailored according to muscle strength, facial anatomy and symptom severity.
-
Most patients begin to notice improvement within 2–4 weeks.
Results typically last 3–6 months.
-
Minimal downtime.
Some patients experience mild tenderness around the jaw for a few days.
-
Mild bruising
Temporary tenderness
Temporary chewing fatigue when eating firmer foods
Trapezius Muscle Treatment
The trapezius muscles extend across the upper back, shoulders and neck. In some individuals these muscles become enlarged or overactive due to posture, repetitive activities, stress or exercise, leading to discomfort, tightness and restricted movement.
Treatment aims to reduce excessive muscle activity, helping to relieve tension whilst maintaining normal shoulder function. Some patients also notice a gradual softening of the shoulder contour as the muscles reduce in size over time.
This treatment has become increasingly popular amongst patients who experience chronic shoulder tension, desk-related posture problems or muscle overdevelopment through exercise.
Common reasons for treatment
Neck and shoulder tension
Muscle tightness
Stress-related muscle discomfort
Enlarged trapezius muscles
Shoulder contour concerns
Treatment plan
Usually completed in a single appointment with maintenance every 3–4 months if required.
Typical treatment
Treatment is tailored according to muscle size, activity and individual goals.
-
Results usually begin within 1–3 weeks.
Effects typically last 3–4 months.
-
Minimal downtime.
Temporary soreness at the injection sites may occur.
-
Bruising
Mild tenderness
Temporary muscle weakness
Temporary feeling of heaviness across the shoulders
Migraine Management
Chronic migraine is a complex neurological condition that can have a significant impact on quality of life. For suitable patients, injectable treatment may help reduce both the frequency and severity of migraine attacks by relaxing specific muscle groups involved in triggering headaches.
Treatment follows recognised medical protocols, with carefully planned injection sites tailored to your clinical presentation. It is generally considered for patients experiencing frequent or chronic migraine rather than occasional headaches.
Jenny will carry out a detailed consultation to assess your symptoms, previous treatments and suitability before discussing whether this treatment is appropriate.
Typical symptoms
Frequent migraine attacks
Headache lasting several hours or longer
Associated nausea
Light and sound sensitivity
Reduced quality of life
Treatment plan
Usually repeated every 12 weeks, depending on your clinical response.
Typical treatment
Treatment follows recognised injection protocols, with the number of injections tailored to the treatment plan.
-
Many patients notice gradual improvement over the weeks following treatment, with benefits typically lasting around 12 weeks before reassessment.
-
Minimal downtime.
Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
-
Mild tenderness
Bruising
Temporary headache
Mild neck discomfort
