Hyperhidrosis Treatment (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injected into the underarms or palms to reduce excessive sweating by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that drive the sweat glands. A grid of small injections across the affected area calms localised hyperhidrosis that does not respond to antiperspirants, with results that build over a week or two and typically last several months. Performed by the doctor after confirming the treatment area and your suitability.

Hyperhidrosis treatment uses botulinum toxin to interrupt the chemical signal between nerves and sweat glands in a defined area, markedly reducing local sweat production. It is aimed at people whose underarm or palm sweating is excessive and troubling despite topical antiperspirants. At this clinic the doctor maps the area to be treated and delivers a grid of small intradermal injections; a topical anaesthetic or cooling can be used for comfort, which is particularly relevant for the more sensitive palms. The appointment takes around thirty to forty minutes depending on the area. There is little downtime — you may notice minor tenderness or small marks at the injection sites that settle quickly. The sweat-reducing effect is not immediate: it develops over roughly one to two weeks as the toxin takes hold, and then commonly lasts in the region of several months before gradually wearing off and being repeated as needed. Underarm and palm treatments are priced separately. The treatment is suitable for adults with focal hyperhidrosis; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the doctor will review your medical history and any contraindications before proceeding. Realistic expectations about onset and duration are discussed at the appointment.
