Hyperhidrosis Treatment

It is most commonly used for underarm sweating, but other areas may be considered following clinical assessment. This will be administered in the armpit.

Botulinum toxin. is injected just beneath the skin using a fine needle. It temporarily blocks the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands, reducing the amount of sweat produced in the
treated area.

The Procedure

A number of small injections are placed across the affected area. Treatment usually takes approximately 20—60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Initial Recovery

Normal activities can usually be resumed immediately. Temporary stinging, tenderness, redness, swelling or bruising may occur for a few days.

When it Starts Working

Some improvement may be noticed within one week.

Full Effect

The full benefit is usually noticeable within two weeks.

How Long it Lasts

The reduction in sweating commonly lasts around six to seven months, although results vary between individuals.

Repeat Treatment

Treatment can be repeated once the effects have worn off and sweating returns. This is commonly no earlier than six months, following review by the treating clinician.

Side effects

Botox is not a permanent cure. Possible side effects include discomfort or bruising at the injection sites, headaches, hot flushes, increased sweating elsewhere and, more rarely, temporary muscle weakness.
