Hyperhidrosis
Non-surgical treatment for excessive sweating especially
underarms and hands. Why have BOTOX 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
BOTOX treatment.
Most patients treated with BOTOX 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 BOTOX
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.
