Hyperhidrosis Treatment
What Is Hyperhidrosis Treatment?
Hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive sweating, can be an embarrassing condition for sufferers. Through injections of Botulinum toxin A (Botox), we can help to address your concern without the need for surgical procedures. Treatment is safe and highly effective, top-ups are recommended at around 6-months to maintain results.
Find out moreBotox works by blocking signals between the nerves and the sweat glands, resulting in a reduction of sweat production. While many people typically associate the treatment with anti-ageing, as it can be used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Botox can be used in a variety of medical contexts, including for bruxism, which we also offer here at G + T aesthetics.
Please avoid St John’s Wort, alcohol, caffeine and ibuprofen at least 24 hours before and after your appointment.
Botox can be used to treat axillary (underarm), palmar (hands) and plantar (feet) hyperhidrosis. It is an extremely effective treatment, especially with 6-month top-ups to maintain results, and all without the need to go under the knife.

Questions about your treatment
A.
Genetics, medications, illnesses, hormonal changes and sometimes diet can play a role in how much – and how often – a person sweats. However, sometimes, there’s no identifiable cause. Hyperhidrosis doesn’t always improve on its own and can sometimes worsen.
A.
Botox for hyperhidrosis can help to reduce the amount you sweat, preventing embarrassing problems like sweat patches. Effects take up to 2 weeks to develop, and last between 6-9 months on average, though factors like metabolism and genetics do play a role. We can use a numbing agent on treated areas in advance of your injections, to help desensitise the skin and reduce discomfort.
A.
Doctors may recommend treatments like drugs or surgery, for example surgical removal of the sweat glands. Both of these can come with risks and unpleasant side-effects. By comparison, Botox for hyperhidrosis is a low-risk treatment and commonly used for treating this problem, among other medical concerns.
A.
- Wearing loose-fitting or moisture-wicking clothing
- Regularly changing socks and shoes
- Keeping a food diary to identify triggers
- Washing once a day, or twice if exercising
