Botox injections Botox hyperhidrosis treatment (stop excessive sweating) – FAQS – as from our FAQ Page for Hyperhidrosis

What is Botox and how does it work to stop excessive sweating?
Botox is a very pure preparation of a protein, Botulinum toxin type A. When small doses are injected into the skin, Botox blocks the actions of the nerves that supply the eccrine glands; this prevents the glands from producing sweat. Botox blocks the nerve endings but over about 6-8 months new nerve endings grow to replace them.

What happens during treatment?
Using a very fine needle, a small amount of a solution of Botox is injected into 10 to 15 places about 1.5 – 2 cm apart and spread evenly in each area. A course of botox excessive sweating treatment (hyperhidrosis) takes about a total of 30 minutes.

Does It Hurt?

Only minimally. Because the skin of the armpit is thin, Botox hyperhidrosis treatment there is barely felt. The needles used are extremely fine, and they themselves are not felt much but the Botox injection itself stings lightly.

Yes, to put it quite simply. We only use botulinum toxins licensed in the UK which has been used for medicinal use for decades.
