Welcome to our Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis) information page, a comprehensive exploration of the medical intricacies surrounding this medical procedure. Dive into the science behind Botulinum Toxin A , a discreet, clinically proven solution for those tired of managing embarrassing sweat patches.
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that goes beyond what’s necessary to regulate body temperature. It can affect various parts of the body, most commonly the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis), hands, feet, face, and scalp. This sweating can be unpredictable—occurring even when the person is at rest, in cool environments, or without any obvious triggers.
There are two main types:
Primary Hyperhidrosis: This is the most common form and usually begins in adolescence or early adulthood. It often affects specific areas (e.g. underarms or palms) and is not linked to any underlying medical condition.
Secondary Hyperhidrosis: This type is caused by an underlying medical condition (e.g. thyroid issues, diabetes, infections) or certain medications. It often results in more generalised sweating.
Before treatment, a thorough medical consultation is carried out to confirm that the sweating is consistent with primary hyperhidrosis and to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you. Using a very fine needle, multiple small injections of Botulinum Toxin A are administered just beneath the skin. The injections target the sweat glands and temporarily block the nerve signals responsible for sweat production.
You can expect a noticeable reduction in sweating within 3 to 7 days, with full effect by around 2 weeks. Results typically last 4 to 6 months, and sometimes longer with repeated treatments.
Mild swelling and bruising are uncommon and temporary. Serious complications are very rare but will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation.
Your are safe to do any other aesthetic treatment that you may want on the same day, there are no restrictions.
