Excessive Sweating

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) can occur on the face, underarm (axilla), hands (palmar) and feet (plantar). This treatment uses botulinum toxin in the superficial layers of the skin to prevent the stimulation of sweat glands. As a result, sweating is greatly reduced.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT EXCESSIVE SWEATING

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is an overactive sweating response that can occur without the typical triggers like heat or exercise. While it’s not harmful, it can be a source of discomfort and embarrassment for many people. Our targeted injections effectively reduce excessive underarm sweating by blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. This quick and straightforward procedure involves small injections under the skin and is popular among those looking to manage excessive perspiration, whether for daily comfort or special occasions.

Botulinum Toxin treatment for hyperhidrosis works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands. In cases of hyperhidrosis, these nerves are overly active, resulting in excessive sweating. The botulinum toxin injections prevent these signals from reaching the sweat glands, effectively reducing sweat production without impacting other nerve functions.

Botulinum toxin is administered using fine needles in the axilla area. For a comfortable experience, please wear a sleeveless or accessible top to your appointment and avoid applying deodorant before treatment.

  • Significant Reduction in Sweat: Alleviates discomfort and visibly reduces sweat in targeted areas.
  • Improved Confidence: Reduces the social and professional challenges often associated with hyperhidrosis.
  • Non-invasive: A quick, non-surgical procedure with minimal recovery time.
  • Long-Lasting Relief: Effects last several months, providing extended comfort and reduced anxiety.
  • Customizable Treatment: BTX quantity can be tailored to achieve your preferred dryness level.

Botulinum toxin is highly effective for various types of hyperhidrosis, including:

  • Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis: Excessive underarm sweating.
  • Palmar Hyperhidrosis: Sweating of the hands.
  • Plantar Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating of the feet.
  • Craniofacial Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating on the face and head.
  • Other Localized Areas: Can be used to treat hyperhidrosis in areas like the groin or under the breasts.

Results generally last 6-12 months, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain results.

As fine needles are used, discomfort is minimal. A numbing cream can be applied beforehand to enhance comfort.

Side effects are rare but can include mild bruising, tenderness, or temporary muscle weakness in the treated area. These typically resolve within a few days.

Most patients notice a noticeable reduction in sweating within a week of treatment, and the full effects are generally apparent after two weeks.

BTX is versatile and can treat various areas, including underarms, hands, feet, face, and other localised regions.

Ideal candidates for BTX treatment are individuals with hyperhidrosis that disrupts their daily activities and emotional well-being. This treatment is recommended if you have tried other conservative measures, such as prescription antiperspirants, without effective relief.
