Why Hyperhidrosis / Excess Sweating
Most people sweat when they exercise or exert themselves, are in a hot environment, or are anxious or under stress. Sweating is your body’s normal mechanism to cool itself when your body temperature rises. But the excessive sweating experienced with hyperhidrosis far exceeds such normal sweating. Recently, a new procedure with the injectable neurotoxin Botulinum Toxin Type A has emerged as an effective option for treating hyperhidrosis. Upon consultation only.

The Consultation Process
Dr Nina talks us through everything you need to know about consultations in the clinic. From our comprehensive Patient Guide to our in-depth exploration of your history, consultations are all about establishing a trusted relationship and understanding your short and long-term goals.
The Benefits
- Injections of botulinum toxin can provide longer-lasting results than topical treatments, without the necessity of invasive surgical procedures.
- Injections are a safe, rapid, relatively durable, and effective way to treat symptomatic hyperhidrosis, and can be particularly effective for people who sweat excessively from their armpits. However, they may also be used to reduce sweating in other areas, such as the hands, feet, and face.
The Concerns
- Primary hyperhidrosis
- Secondary hyperhidrosis – occurs when excess sweating is due to a medical condition, such as diabetes, thyroid problems, menopause etc.
The Results
- Patients typically start seeing results in five days, with full results after two weeks.
- The effects of botulinum toxin last for three to six months on average, as the nerves regenerate. Over time, however, patients can go longer between treatments.
Downtime
You can return to work immediately after injections, and it is recommended that you follow-up in 2 weeks, so that your doctor can check and touch up any missed spots to ensure that you are getting the treatment’s full benefit.
