Excessive Sweating Treatment
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can be treated with Botox®/Dysport®.
The medical term for excessive sweating is Hyperhidrosis, a condition that affects millions of people all over the world.
Uncontrolled sweating can occur in various parts of the body including the hands, feet or underarms. Sweating is often aggravated by stress, heat, exercise and spicy foods.
Here at our Clinic, we can treat excessive sweating with botulinum toxin injections.
By targeting specific eccrine sweat glands in the armpit, the injections block the release of a chemical, stopping tiny underarm muscles squeezing out perspiration.
For sweating in other parts of the body, such as the palms and feet, a similar treatment is used. Due to the sensitivity of the locations a topical anaesthetic is coated over the area to be treated for an hour before administering the injections.
The treatment itself doesn’t take too long, and the effects can last up to a year with some patients.
