What Is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for temperature regulation. This can affect various areas of the body, including the underarms, hands, feet, and face. The condition can significantly impact daily activities and self-confidence

How Does Botox Treat Hyperhidrosis?

Botulinum toxin (Botox) is an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis. When injected into the affected areas, Botox blocks the nerve signals responsible for supplying the tiny sweat glands under the skin.

This reduced sweat gland activity therefore results in a significant reduction of sweat and moisture production, providing relief for several months.​

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis is commonly applied to:​

• Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)

• Palms of the hands

• Soles of the feet

• Face (particularly the forehead)​

The treatment is suitable for individuals experiencing excessive sweating in these areas, especially when other treatments have been ineffective.​

What to Expect from Treatment

• You will undergo a full medical consultation before proceeding to determine the most suitable treatment regimen for you

• Treatment involves a series of multiple small injections into the target area

• Topical anaesthetic is applied to the area for comfort

• The treatment itself is over in a matter of minutes

• Patients find they are able to continue their day as normal with no downtime

• Results begin to appear within 3-5 days and usually you are able to really appreciate the full effects of treatment by around 2 weeks

• If during the first 2-4 weeks you feel like you would like a bit of a stronger effect then we would be delighted to see you for a complimentary review and if indicated, administer a top-up dose adjustment

• Results last around 4–6 months and gradually wear off, meaning that repeat treatments would be recommended for ongoing benefit

  Botulinum toxin injections are not suitable for anyone under the age of 18, patients who are breast-feeding or pregnant and those with a known history of neuromuscular disorders.
