Excessive Sweating Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating, due to overactive sweat glands, which may may be hereditary or caused by an underlying medical problem. It can be treated with Botulinum Toxin. However, before you seek treatment, it is important to check with your doctor to rule out any undiagnosed health problems.

With regular treatments at our clinic, you will never have to endure the embarrassing symptoms of excessive sweating, such as: wet clothes or unpleasant odour. You can stop worrying about what to wear, or carrying deodorant, because your sweat levels will cease to be excessive.
Wrinkle relaxing injections are effective for treating:
Axillary Hyperhidrosis (armpits)
Palmer Hyperhidrosis (palms of the hands)
Facial Hyperhidrosis
Technique
After an initial consultation, to assess your medical health, the treatment will be performed by injecting small units of botulinum toxin A into the surrounding skin of the area of concern. The needles used are very fine and feel like tiny pin-pricks, which most patients easily tolerate.
Botulinum toxin A is a prescription only medication, therefore it should only be administered by highly trained nurses, doctors and dentists.
Procedure
Depending on how many areas being treated, the assessment and procedure takes approximately 30 minutes.
Downtime
Discomfort and downtime is minimal. There may be mild tenderness, which subsides within minutes, allowing you to return to normal activities soon after. However, you are advised to avoid intense physical acctivities and exercises, as well as make up and alcohol for 24 hours following treatment. Until the product has settled, we advise against touching the treatment areas, and avoid smoking, which could impact on your healing properly. You may experience mild bruising, swelling and redness at the injection site, which should subside after a few days.
Results
The treatment takes 2 weeks to take full effect with a visible results experienced within 2-5 days following treatment. A follow up appointment is usually recommended after 2 weeks to review the results. For permanent results, treatments should be repeated every 3-4 months. To avoid experiencing a return to symptoms, we will keep you informed of your next treatment due date .
