Hyperhidrosis Botox Treatment

Our Armpit Botox treatment for sweating, or Hyperhidrosis Botox treatment is a life changing procedure which works brilliantly. It is a procedure which is much more effective and which is free of significant side effects when comparing to the surgical and abrasive deodorant alternatives.

Many patients tell us that excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, from their armpits or hands is socially very restrictive and embarrassing. It means that they have to wear dark clothes or have to layer their clothes, even in hot weather so that the wet patches under the arms do not show.

How does it work?

Underarm botox treatment for hyperhidrosis works similarly to botox treatments for facial lines and wrinkles, in that it works by blocking nerve impulses. When considering hyperhidrosis treatment, the botox is injected into the underarm through a tiny needle superficially under the skin, where the sweat glands are found, and it works by blocking the nerve impulses going to the sweat glands.

What can this procedure treat?

The classical and most popular treatment is the underarm botox hyperhidrosis treatment.

Palm sweating is the second most requested procedure, but sweating in areas such as the face, pubic area and feet can also be treated.

How good is the results of hyperhidrosis treatment?

The results of hyperhidrosis treatment is amazing, with most of our patients describing them as life changing. The improvement of sweating is classically 80%-100% and it should last 6-12 months. This really is the holy grail for our patients who have tried many other things with no success.

Does hyperhidrosis treatment hurt?

Armpit botox treatment for sweating only takes 5-10 minutes and is very painless. Numbing cream can be applied before your hyperhidrosis treatment, but the needles are so tiny that there is normally no need. Many patients have commented that the sensation is similar to acupuncture and most find our hyperhidrosis treatment a relatively painless procedure.

Treatment of hand sweating can be more painful however, making the procedure slightly more difficult for some patients.

Is it safe?

Botox is a protein derived from a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum, having undergone a proven safe and highly effective purification process. It is therefore organic and completely safe. Since the early 1970’s it has been used in treating conditions in many fields of medicine including neurology and ophthalmology and it has been used in aesthetic medicine for over 20 years.

In over 30 years of use in medicine, there have never been any reported serious allergic reactions and with such longevity, we can say with certainty that there are no long-term side effects. The most important thing to remember is that this treatment is non-permanent and very safe. The botox is metabolised at the injection site and it does not spread to any other parts of the body.

Any side effects to botox injections for sweating?

Botox for underarm sweating is a delicate procedure with no significant side effects at all. Even though there may be a little bit of tenderness and bruising this is never significant.

When treating the hands there is a slight risk of local muscle weakness.
