HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT

Welcome to the ultimate solution for excessive sweating and say goodbye to the discomfort and embarrassment of sweating excessively and hello to dry, confident days!

Using Botulinum Toxin (otherwise known as Botox) for Hyperhidrosis is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment designed to combat excessive sweating from your underarms or your palms.

How Does It Work?

The sweat glands that are responsible for the overproduction of perspiration are targeted with precisely administered injections. The toxin temporarily blocks the nerve signals that trigger excessive sweating.

Benefits of this treatment:

  • Reduces sweat production significantly

  • Provides relief from sweaty palms and underarms

  • Boosts your confidence and comfort in social and professional settings

It takes up to a week for the effects to start becoming noticeable and maximum results kick in around two weeks after treatment. Please note that a prescription is necessary to obtain Botulinum Toxin.

Recommended number of treatments for optimal results:

Initial treatment and a review 2 weeks later, where if needed, a small ‘touch-up’ can be administered. The review is included in the price.

How long do results last for?

The duration of the effects of Botulinum Toxin can vary from person to person depending on how quickly your body metabolises the toxin as well as area treated. On average, the effects of Botulinum Toxin injections last between three to six months.

To maintain the desired results, it is typically recommended to have Botulinum Toxin injections periodically to sustain desired results.

  • Your appointment will start with a consultation to confirm your desired outcome.

    The areas being treated will be cleaned with an alcohol swab, and injection points will be marked up. Injections are performed with a fine insulin needle and due to the short time frame needed for the injections and the size of the needle, numbing is usually not necessary.

    Before and after photos will be taken.

  • Normal daily activities can be resumed directly after treatment; however, you must remain upright for 4-6 hours following treatment to prevent the product from spreading to nearby muscles and causing undesired effects.

    You may have small lumps at the injection site for a few hours after and there may be some bruising.
