Sweating is a natural and necessary bodily process we all experience.

However, an estimated 3% of the population is believed to suffer from excessive sweating (medically known as hyperhidrosis) affecting areas such as the soles of the feet, under arm area and palms of the hands. As well as causing physical discomfort, excessive sweating can be a source of embarrassment for sufferers, and become a barrier to partaking in social activities. Thanks to muscle relaxing injections which can be administered to the affected areas, excessive sweating can be reduced and controlled, allowing you to enjoy a happier, more hygienic and worry-free day-to-day life.

Wrinkle softening injections are perhaps most commonly known for reducing fine lines and wrinkles across parts of the upper face, but are also effective in treating excessive sweating. The injections immobilise the nerves within your sweat glands so that no signal is sent to tell the body to produce sweat. There is no backlog of sweat once treatment wears off, it simply ceases to exist in the first place.

This FDA-approved treatment is recommended for those who have overactive sweat glands that are impacting their daily activities. During a pre-treatment consultation, we will listen to your concerns and worries, and conceive a plan to achieve results that will grow your confidence again.

What can I expect from treatment?

The botulinum toxin is injected using a very fine needle and administered to the area located just under the skin’s surface at the relevant sites. You will only need a single treatment to quell the effects of hyperhidrosis, though it can take up to a week to see the full benefits.

What can I expect after treatment?

You will be able to resume your normal routine on the day of treatment, and over the 4-6 months period during which the injections are effective, your body will naturally and safely dissolve the substance on its own. To maintain the effects of treatment, we recommend follow-up appointments every 9-12 months.

How will I benefit from treatment?

Many patients find that their day-to-day life is no longer dictated by thinking about their condition and that they are more able to relax in professional and social settings. Personal hygiene also improves post-treatment, as the need to change damp clothing multiple times a day becomes a thing of the past.
