Treating Excessive Sweating or Hyperhidrosis

Botulinum Toxin is the most common non surgical cosmetic procedure performed world wide, and is commonly used to treat and soften lines and wrinkles, particularly of the frown, forehead and crows feet/smile lines. It is also used to treat many medical conditions. Hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) being one of these. In the context of hyperhydrosis, botulinum toxin works by blocking the signalling to the sweat gland, so that they can no longer produce sweat. You typically start to see results in the first 3 days after treatment however it takes 2 weeks to take full effect. Results on average last about 6months for hyperhydrosis- however many patients find if they time this just before the hot seasons, that they can manage yearly treatments.

Having botulinum toxin is a fast, safe and effective procedure with little to no downtime required. It is usually done in a 30minute appointment. After treatment you can return to your normal daily activities, we just advise to not do any vigorous exercise for the rest of the day, avoid rubbing the area and facials/ face down massage for 2 weeks post procedure.
