Non-surgical
treatment for
excessive sweating
especially underarms
and hands.
Why have Botulinum
Toxin treatment?
Reduce amount
of sweating in
the axillae.
Reduce sweating
in the palms.
Provide long-term
relief from the
embarrassment
of excessive sweating.
Improve self-confidence.
Sweating is a
normal process
that facilitates
heat loss from
the body, but
can also be induced
by emotional stress
e.g. fear.
However, excessive
sweating can be
both psychologically
and physically
disabling. Topical
treatments for
localised sweating
can achieve good
control in many
patients but in
some sweating
is not controlled
effectively and
these patients
can achieve excellent
results with Botulinum
Toxin treatment.
Most patients
treated with Botulinum
Toxin report greater
than 90% reduction
in sweating in
the axillae and
palms with minimal
side effects,
making this a
highly effective
treatment for
localised Hyperhidrosis.
Surgical alternatives
involve excision
of the sweat glands
(axillae) or division
of the nerves
responsible for
sweating (palms).
Both procedures
carry significant
risks and relapse
rates, while Botulinum
Toxin treatment
has minimal risks
but requires repeat
treatments.
A clear understanding
of your concerns
and careful examination
is vital in order
to achieve the
optimum result
following treatment.
The type of treatment
required to achieve
the best result
for you will depend
on your goals
and will be discussed
at the time of
your Consultation.
Remember treatment
will not change
you or solve any
life crises, but
should boost your
self-confidence
and enjoyment
of life.
