Hyperhidrosis Treatment (Botulinum Toxin)

Treatment of hyperhidrosis with botulinum toxin targets the localised overactivity of sweat glands in the underarms. The toxin is injected just under the skin across a grid of points in the affected zone, where it temporarily interrupts the nerve signals that trigger sweating. The result is a marked, predictable reduction in sweat production in the treated area, while the body continues to regulate its temperature normally elsewhere.

At Estéea the area is first assessed and the underarms — the most straightforward site to treat and the best tolerated — are marked before a series of fine injections is placed across the region. The appointment takes around thirty minutes. There is little downtime, and most people return to normal activities the same day. The sweat-reducing effect typically becomes apparent within several days to about two weeks and commonly lasts in the region of six…
