Excessive sweating injection

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. People with hyperhidrosis produce sweat in larger amounts and at inappropriate times, significantly impacting their quality of life. This condition can occur in specific body areas, such as the armpits, hands, or feet, or it can affect the entire body.

Hyperhidrosis can be categorised as primary or secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis often has a genetic component and is not caused by an underlying medical condition. An underlying medical condition or medication side effects cause secondary hyperhidrosis.

Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections are administered to reduce excessive sweating. Botox blocks the nerve signals that trigger sweat production, providing relief from hyperhidrosis symptoms.

The duration of the treatment can vary depending on the individual and the areas being treated. Generally, the injections themselves are administered within approximately 20 minutes.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the injections. Our experienced professionals take great care to ensure the process is as painless as possible.

Many patients notice reduced excessive sweating within a few days, although it can take up to 2 weeks to see the benefit.

The results can vary, but most patients experience a significant reduction in sweating for several months, typically four to six months. Repeat treatments can be scheduled to maintain the effects.

Like any medical procedure, there can be potential side effects. The most common ones are temporary bruising, swelling, or soreness at the injection sites. These usually resolve quickly. Our experienced team will discuss potential risks and address concerns during your consultation.

In some cases, hyperhidrosis injections may be combined with other treatments to optimise results. Our specialists will assess your situation and discuss your most appropriate treatment plan during your consultation.
