Excessive sweating can be very socially restrictive and embarrassing problem that can really impact self-confidence. Often very strong deodorants fail this group of patients and can even cause a sever skin irritation. By disabling the sweat glands with the administration of botulinum toxin and not allowing them to overproduce we can provide our patients with peace of mind and give them a break from managing this difficult condition.

A Botox injection is administered to the desired areas to block the nerve impulses from reaching the sweat glands. This can be due to sweat glands located in various areas around the body, such as underarms, hands, and feet.
This treatment is quick, safe, highly effective and the improvement of sweating is usually around 80%-100%, and should last between 6-12 months.
Botulinum toxin is one of the greatest advances of medicine, used for many other indications as well such as reducing bulky muscles like masseters, treating headaches and migraines, relieving neck tension, facial spasms and others.
We can treat sweat glands located in various areas around the body, such as underarms, hands, and feet.
Botulinum Toxin Type A can be used to treat wrinkles caused by muscle movement in areas such as the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the brows (frown lines). It can also be used for other facial contouring and medical treatments like bruxism, migraines, and hyperhidrosis.
The treatment involves identifying the muscles responsible for wrinkles, which are then injected with Botulinum Toxin Type A using a tiny needle. The toxin intercepts nerve impulses, causing the muscles to relax within two weeks, and the wrinkles soften as a result.
Botulinum Toxin Type A is highly effective for most people in treating wrinkles and fine lines. It can also be combined with other skin rejuvenation treatments for enhanced results, especially if used with dermal fillers.
Botulinum Toxin Type A is generally safe for most individuals, but it may not be suitable for those with specific medical conditions or allergies. It’s always recommended to consult with a professional before treatment.
No, Botulinum Toxin Type A can be used in combination with other treatments such as dermal fillers or skin rejuvenation therapies to achieve enhanced or prolonged effects.
A patch test for Botox is not always required, but it may be recommended if you have sensitive skin or are at risk of an allergic reaction.
Usually, one session is enough, with results lasting 3-5 months.
While some discomfort may be experienced due to the use of a tiny needle, ice packs can be applied to reduce both pain and bruising. Discomfort may also be due to nervousness around needles.
There are no serious side effects, but redness or bruising at the injection site is common. To reduce bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin for 10 days before the treatment.
To minimise side effects like bruising, avoid taking blood-thinning medications for 10 days before the treatment.
The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes.
Recovery is generally quick, with possible redness or bruising lasting up to 24 hours.
Results begin to show within two weeks, and the effects typically last 3-5 months, depending on the individual’s body.
Serious complications are rare. Mild side effects such as redness or bruising can occur, but these are temporary and can be minimised with proper preparation (avoiding blood-thinning medications).
