Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating that occurs without triggers like heat or exercise. Treatments for hyperhidrosis include Botulinum Toxin injections, which block the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands, reducing excessive sweating in targeted areas.

Botulinum Toxin works by temporarily blocking the nerves that stimulate sweat glands. This significantly reduces sweat production in the treated area, such as the underarms.

When performed by a medical trained professional, Botulinum Toxin injections are generally safe. Side effects are rare but can include temporary redness, bruising, or mild discomfort at the injection site. Serious complications are uncommon.

The effects typically last between 4 to 9 months, depending on the individual. To maintain the results, repeat treatments are required.

Results usually begin to appear within a few days, with full effects taking up to 2 weeks. You may notice a significant reduction in sweating during this time.

The injection process is often described as being uncomfortable but not overly painful. Most people find it manageable with little downtime.

Botulinum Toxin injections provide significant relief by reducing excessive sweating, but they are not a permanent cure. Continued treatment may be necessary for long-term management.

The number of treatments required depends on the severity of your condition. Most people start with a single session, and then additional treatments may be needed after 6-9 months to maintain results.
