Hyperhydrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Sweating is one of the most important ways through which the body loses heat and is a natural and normal process.

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a common and often embarrassing problem for many people, especially sweating of the underarms. There are many products which can be useful for treating this, some of which can be bought and some can be obtained on prescription, but if all else fails, injections into the affected areas are likely to give you the freedom from embarrassment you wished for.

The simple treatment involves a few injections into the skin, where sweating is the greatest, to block the action of the nerves that supply the sweat glands. The effects of this treatment can last for several months leaving you more confident to enjoy life. It’ll leave you wondering you you’ve lived without it for so long!

How can Botulinum toxin help in hyperhidrosis?

Botulinum toxin (Botox®) is a treatment given by injection into the skin. It is recommended for the treatment of axilla hyperhidrosis. When injected, it prevents the sweat glands from producing sweat. It is a safe, well-established treatment that has been used for many years. 

What happens during treatment?

Using a small needle, we will administer a series of tiny injections into each armpit. Treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.

When will I notice the effects and how long will the effects last?

You will notice an improvement within 7 days. Effects usually last up to 12 months.

What are the possible side effects?

This is a well-established, safe procedure. Common side effects, such as bruising and swelling at the injection site, are temporary and should disappear within 48 hours of the procedure.
