Hyperhidrosis

What is it?

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. It can occur in men and women at at any point in life although is normally present from childhood or adolescence. It can cause embarrassment, lack of confidence and restrictions to every day life. It is vital that prior to treatment for this condition you have consulted your GP to rule out any other underlying causes such as thyroid function, diabetes or infections.

Although Botox injection is not licensed in the UK for palmar (hands) or plantar (feet) hyperhidrosis it can be performed, and we have successfully treated upper lip sweating.

How can it be treated?

The sweat glands in your arm pits are injected with Botox, a drug that has been used to treat safely other medical conditions for many years as well as it’s use for cosmetic procedures.

What can I expect?

Following the application of an anaesthetic cream the injections of botox will be administered to the armpits. The procedure is very quick with no down time and you can expect to see results within a few days. We recommend top up procedures around 3 – 6 months, however in our experience with many patients will still see results for up to 1 year.

How much does it cost?

Treatment price is £400 – £500 for both armpits. An accurate price will be given at your consultation.
