What is Hyperhidrosis/Excessive Sweating?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating that goes beyond the body's thermoregulatory needs. This can be embarrassing, restrict clothing choice and stain clothes.
Hyperhidrosis is not due to any particular underlying reason or condition, and can be seen as excessive sweating in the palms, feet, underarms, face and/or scalp. Sweating usually affects both sides, but we can treat only one side if required.
Treatment options for hyperhidrosis depend on the severity and location of the excessive sweating.
What is the treatment?
Botox injections: Botox is a neurotoxin that is injected into the affected area to temporarily block the nerve signals that trigger sweating. This treatment is typically used for the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet. This simple procedure is well tolerated and has no downtime. You may receive multiple injections based on your individual needs.
What are the expected results? Botox reduces localised excessive sweating by an average of 83%, bringing your problem sweating back to normal. Results last on average 9-12 months and can often last longer with repeated treatments.
What is the cost of the treatment? The cost varies depending on the amount of Botox needed. Prices generally start from $1,000.
How soon will I see results? You should notice a significant reduction in sweating within 1-2 weeks.
