Dr Frank Barbagallo @ Medico Estetica

I have suffered with hayfever for as long as I remember. The tablets, nasal sprays and injections do absolutely nothing for me. My wife persuaded me to give "hayfever botox" a go. I was skeptical but reluctantly made an appointment and I am so happy that I did. FINALLY, something works. Depending on the season I may need 2 sessions but it is definitely worth it. I recommend Medico Estetica to anyone that wants hay fever relief.

Dr Frank is so kind, his team are super friendly and his haytox treatment has changed my life! I have suffered from allergies since i was a child and things did not improve as an adult due to my addiction to dogs and cats! Seasonal hayfever literally had me bedridden at times, missing work and skipping social activities due to sinus headaches and uncontrollable sneezing.

I bounced through brands of traditional anti-histamines. I tried a multitude of treatments such as acupuncture, naturopathy and salt rooms. I changed my lifestyle, improved cleaning practices, purchased air purifiers and had a consultation with an allergy specialist. When i found out about how much treatment with the specialist was going to cost, this gave me pause. Then a friend told me about haytox and it sounded like it could be the solution. Within 48hrs i booked in with a trusted doctor who i had previously relied on for injectibles. Boy did i feel that needle! Alas the needle up my nose gave me only five to ten percent improvement (and thats being very optimistic).

I decided the drive to hawthorn might be worth it and i was not disappointed. Haytox has given me my life back! I have never felt so normal, i can breathe out of both nostrils and my nose isn't swollen! My overall health has improved, my asthma has improved dramatically and i dont get itchy rashes! I still enjoy going to the salt room but i no longer rely on it to pep me up and i can give my fur babies all of the love minus the adverse reactions. I am so excited for this treatment, i couldnt recommend it more highly!

Before seeing Dr Frank and going to another medical place, I had lost all confidence that these so called experts had no idea what they were doing or talking about. To them it’s all about you getting in and getting out, without the caring attitude.

Finally I decided to try Dr Frank and I knew straight away that he actually held an interest in wanting to help. When I lose weight, my Jowels just hang like a blood hound. So I usually put the weight back on so that it doesn’t hang anymore. Dr Frank spent the time explaining my options and what he felt would be best for my circumstances.

Since going to Dr Frank and feeling that profhilo would be my best bet, I can’t believe the difference in my face. Profhilo felt so natural, It’s given me my confidence back for my work, as well as for my hubby (whom I must say didn’t want me to get anything done), but he keeps mentioning how good he thinks I look. I am so grateful to Dr Frank for the work he has done, his professionalism and expertise, gives me 100 per cent confidence in all he does. I feel and look fresher and younger without that Botox look, so natural looking. I feel I can actually talk to Dr Frank without the rushed feeling, that I always felt elsewhere. Someone that cares, not rushing you out the door. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Your no. 1 fan.

After suffering for year’s with mixed symptoms of both allergic and non allergic rhinitis, thanks to Dr Frank Barbagello “the miracle HAYTOX” has been found.
My allergy specialist and immunologist had prescribed me many medications, none on which worked. He finally mentioned Dr Barbagallo and had sent some of his patients there that weren’t responding to anything. Upon return, his patients had great success from Haytox. So I thought I have nothing to lose, especially after two sinus operation’s. It was the result I had been wanting for years, I feel incredible. My swelling has gone and I have stop mouth breathing.
I highly recommend “HAYTOX” by the professional Dr Barbagallo.
Thanks again for changing my life!

Wouldn’t trust anyone else. Dr Frank and his capable team provide a professional and friendly service every visit - and there have been a lot of visits!:)

I have battled severe rhinitis for many years. I have been prescribed every medication available and had two sinus operations but did not get much relief. My symptoms left me with constant severe inflammation, sinus infections, headache, and nausea.
I have been mostly housebound for the last 10 years to avoid contact with pollens that make me worse. I was taking high doses of prednisolone and anti-biotics every day just to survive.
In December last year I was referred to Dr Frank Barbagallo. After an hour long, full medical assessment Dr Frank treated me with his Haytox medication. After about 4 weeks I estimated a 35 percent improvement. So, at my next appointment Dr Frank gave me another dose of Haytox. After another few weeks I felt a further improvement to at least 50% better.
Then Dr Frank gave me a course of his capsaicin spray, which took me to at least 70 percent better.
After this he gave me an antibacterial spray which has further improved my symptoms. I can honestly say that this is the best I have felt after 26 years of feeling chronically unwell. I can now go outside and live a much more normal life. I am almost weaned off the prednisolone and antibiotics. His treatments have been life changing for me.
Dr Frank is a very caring doctor who spent considerable time explaining his treatments and how they worked for me. I highly recommend him and his friendly staff to anyone needing help with chronic allergies.

This is the one and only clinic for all your facial concerns Frank is an expert in all aspects of treatments for the face over 10 years I have been in his care he’s the best

Frank and his team are amazing. I was referred to Frank from a co worker who had witnessed how really bad my hayfever had become. It was year round and severe. I had tried all the available medications, including a surgical procedure to drain my sinuses. When I did the botox procexure in Frank's clinic, it immediately worked it's magic. With one hour, no hayfever or migraine. I had a second treatment. My hayfever has improved even with the air quality being so bad in inner city Melbourne. Thank you so much Frank for changing my life.
Kind regards Hariklia.

I was a big victim of hay fever before this treatment!
Incessant sneezes, swollen eyes, swollen nose etc.
One day I decided to give this treatment a go after hearing about it through word of mouth.
After about a week, I virtually had no hay fever symptoms in mid Spring.
It's been a lifesaver for the past year and I can confirm that you can't put a price on the amount it has changed my quality of life.
Rest assured Frank has done wonders for me and everyone around me. No side effects too:)

I hope you and your team at MedicoEstetica had a wonderful Christmas break!

I just wanted to let you know, that today marks a month since I visited you for my first ever Haytox treatment for my non-allergic rhinitis.

And today also marks a month since I last had an episode/reaction, what used to be a weekly occurrence. It is unbelievable, you have changed my life!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will keep monitoring and will keep in touch, once the episodes start coming back, perhaps for another follow up treatment.

I honestly can’t thank Dr Frank enough he has given me back the ability to enjoy life again!

I used to suffer from debilitating hayfever. I was always an absolute mess throughout the most of the year. It affected me by not being able to fully function at work, i was always embarrassed when talking to clients as my eyes were puffy and running, constant sneezing and I just looked and felt terrible, I just couldn’t function.
I couldn’t enjoy camping with my family and I used to dred taking my dog for a walk as I knew it would set my hayfever off with the smell of grass being cut or the flowers. I really just wanted to hibernate.
I spent years seeing allergy specialists not to mention the $$ I spent on drops, daily injections and tablets, I honestly thought there was no treatment out there to help me and I would just have to continue to suffer…. That was until my husband heard about Dr. Frank and Haytox.

Dr. Frank just generally cares, he really wants to
help his patients and most of all he listened to me.
I have 1 Haytox treatment per year. While it isn’t a pleasant experience I do it because it actually works. Because of Dr Frank and haytox I can actually enjoy the outdoors again and confidently walk past someone mowing the lawn without trepidation and I can finally enjoy camping with my family
I recommend Dr Frank and Haytox 100%!

I had the haytox treatment in the height of spring and have always suffered with hay fever - running nose, itchy eyes and rashes. The impact of the treatment was almost instant - took maybe two days to go from sneezing and feeling generally crumby every day, to having no irritation in the nose whatsoever. We do hay carting about anywhere up to 1000 bales each new years and this year I was able to do it without wearing a mask for the first time ever. I believe the treatment even reduced the severity of the rash that followed given the hay rubs up against you the whole day!
Thank you Frank, it is an amazing treatment. Spend the money, put up with 15 minutes of discomfort for a year off!

I recently had my second treatment of Haytox in just over 2 years. I have suffered from Hayfever all year round since a young kid and being allergic to grass you can only imagine how bad it got. I tried multiple Hayfever solutions which provided little releif. After discovering Haytox I booked in immediately and the results are literally life changing. I no longer need to take any Hayfever medication and my days are bliss to say the least. Would highly recommend to anyone who suffers from Hayfever.

I’ve been a patient of Medico Estetica for a few years now. Aside from my regular Hydra Facials with Alaina and Anti wrinkle treatments with Frank, I am always keen to try any new treatments or technology they can offer. Their latest device is the Pico Laser. I can quite confidently say, this machine is my favourite. I saw results after a week with no downtime and tolerable discomfort. Thank you team for always taking care of me

I reached out to Dr Frank after moving to Melbourne and experiencing my first pollen season. I used to get hayfever over the summer in the UK, but never like what I experienced in Melbourne. It was so bad that I considered relocating again - there was nothing I could do to get rid of symptoms. Antihistamines couldn't even control my hayfever and I was constantly dealing with a runny nose, had itchy, sore eyes, broke out in rashes where my skin had been exposed to the air, I had chronic sinus inflammation and headaches, sore throats and nausea from breathing the air outside, and was constantly exhausted.
My GP could sadly, do very little for me, so in desperation, I researched any way to help. The Haytox treatment came up and I booked in.
Dr Frank is a thorough and kind doctor. He talks you through every step of the procedure, where Botox is applied to the nasal passages on a Q-tip, and makes sure you're okay throughout.
I cannot even begin to explain how much the Haytox has changed my life. I don't dread summer, don't have to limit my time outside, and get very few, and very mild symptoms. I no longer have to think about moving away from Melbourne just to get some relief. I have had two treatments and would say that 90% of my symptoms have gone.
I would recommend Dr Frank and his Haytox treatment to anybody.

I first heard about Dr Frank in 2019 on a news program. After some research I decided to make an appointment and give it a try. I flew from Brisbane for the appointment. It was a life changing experience for me, no longer did I suffer from face aches, black eyes and complete congestion instead I could breathe, smell and live a better life. Twelve months on I have just been back for another treatment as I had noticed that I was starting to get my symptoms back. I look forward to having more time free of my sinus and hay fever and enjoying life to the full. The staff and Dr Frank are just the best and treat you like a person not just a number. I highly recommend this treatment for anyone suffering from sinus and or hay fever as it does truly work.

I had the Haytox treatment, and can’t recommend it enough!
I have always suffered with bad hay fever and allergies, to the point that i would get sinus infections, migraines, unable to breathe and face aches on a regular basis. It became normal to have to take days off work, impacting my life in a very negative way. Doctors and specialists always just suggested some new spray or tablets, which never worked for me, leaving me disheartened, dismissed and a little poorer for the experience.
I first heard about Dr Frank and Haytox treatment on the TV, and after some research, I decided to give it a try. My mum also suffering in a similar way jumped on board with the idea, we decided that even if it didn’t work, we would at least have a girls trip to Melbourne for a few days of shopping.
Mum and I flew from Brisbane in February 2020, into a freezing cold rainy day in Melbourne, hopped onto a train, and made our way to see Dr Frank. We arrived and were greeted by friendly staff. To our surprise we were asked a lot of questions about our allergies and symptoms, this is more than I’ve ever been asked before by any doctor, this gave me some hope that someone might actually listen and understand.
Dr Frank went through our forms, asked questions, and really seemed to understand our issues. When he said we were good candidates for the treatment, I was excited and gave me hope.
We both completed our Haytox treatment, we left the clinic feeling hopeful.

Initially after treatment I was congested, but this cleared a bit later in the day. The following day I woke up and could actually breathe through my nose for the first time in years! This was the start of a new way of life for me! I now live without allergy medicine and no I no longer live with pain and discomfort.
I just went back to Dr Frank for a refresher treatment as I had just started to notice a few symptoms coming back, this was about a year after my first treatment. I will no longer suffer, as I know a trip to see Dr Frank will give me my quality of life back.
Again I was greeted warmly, they remembered me, and treat you with respect, they are very professional and friendly staff at the clinic.
I can not thank Dr Frank enough for this life changing treatment.

For the first 5 days after having the hay fever treatment back in early November my hay fever actually became worse than ever. I am delighted to advise that on day 6 which was November 10 or 11 my hay fever cleared up almost instantly. It has been amazing ever since. Even on some of the worst days imaginable with strong northerly winds it has been great. I am still taking my nasal spray but have reduced most of the other medications down to zero.

Mowing the grass which was previously a nightmare has been totally fine.

I couldn’t recommend the treatment more highly and will definitely be back for another treatment when the need arises.

If you could pass on my thanks to Dr Frank.

If you suffer from hay fever or asthma that is exacerbated by hay fever please read on.
Every year around spring time, I suffer from severe asthma that is bought on by hay fever. Countless trips to hospital, needing to take prednisolone for flare ups bought on by the weather, prescribed Montelukast, and taking multiple antihistamines daily was not sufficient enough. On days where the pollen count was high I just had to stay indoors.
I was recommended to try Frank's cure 'Haytox'. I cannot begin to explain the relief it has given me. It was only two days post I began to notice a significant difference.
I now no longer need to take any medications for my hay fever. I can leave the house without itchy eyes, runny nose or even a tissue and my asthma has finally calmed down.
This treatment is honestly life changing wether you suffer from extreme or mild hay fever symptoms and definitely worth getting!

So happy with my results after seeing Dr Frank.
I was suffering from allergic and non allergic rhinitis. I woke up with mucus every morning and would be coughing it out for at least half an hour each morning. It was so uncomfortable and tried everything before I was recommend to Dr Frank at Medico Estetica. Dr Frank sat with me for at least an hour to go through my history and symptoms which instantly made me feel better about the procedure as most specialists or doctors I had seen would prescribe me with something after only a 10 minute consult. After the Haytox Procedure I instantly felt at least 50-60% relief which was enough for me however Dr Frank recommended a nasal spray that might help with the non allergic rhinitis. It definitely did help my symptoms and now feeling at least 80% better. Couldn't be happier and would definitely recommend if you suffer from any type of allergy.
