How does Botox work for Hyperhydrosis?

Hyperhisdrosis therapy is a great way to reduce embarrassing sweating and get your hyperhidrosis under control. Using medical Botox we can prevent your overactive nerves from sending the signal to your sweat glands, reducing sweat production and giving you your confidence and your life back.

​

When used for treating hyperhisdrosis, Botox works by blocking nerve signals from the brain to the sweat glands. This prevents the sweat glands from over-producing sweat, significantly reducing your symptoms.

​

What to expect from a treatment? 

During an hyperhisdrosis treatment session, your aesthetician will first apply a numbing cream, before marking the areas of the body they intend to treat. Once the numbing cream has had time to take effect they will then inject the Botox.

​

The number of injections required will vary depending on the area or areas of the body that you want to treat, but you should expect something around 20 injections. This should be discussed with you before the treatment, so you know exactly what to expect.

​

The whole procedure should take around 30-45 (this includes 25 minutes numbing time) minutes in total and there’s no recovery period required so you can continue with your normal daily routine right away.

Most people say they experience some mild discomfort while the injections are administered, but that overall the treatment is not an unpleasant experience.

​

How quickly will I see results? 

The results are pretty quick, with most people noticing a difference in just 7-14 days, but it can take up to 2 weeks before your sweating stops altogether and you experience complete dryness.

 

While it’s not a permanent solution, hyperhidrosis therapy is fairly long-lasting. You can expect your sweating to remain under control for several months, after which time you can repeat the treatment to extend the results and keep your sweating under control.

​

Is it right for me? 

The only way to truly discover if hyperhidrosis therapy is the right solution for you is to have a consultation with a professional, qualified aesthetic doctor. They’ll help you to understand your condition and give you all the information you need to make the right treatment choice for you.
