Excess sweating (Hyperhidrosis) can be embarrassing and upsetting. Many people suffer with this condition which can start in teenage years and in some cases, continue through to adulthood. Some topical remedies which are either prescribed or bought over the counter can be both ineffective and can cause irritation of the skin. At Dr. MediSpa in Loughton in Essex, we believe that everyone should be confident about the way they look and feel and therefore we have introduced Botox for hyperhidrosis for the temporary relief of excess sweating. This treatment is suitable for both men and women.

Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A) is most commonly known for its role in anti-ageing. When injected in to areas of the face, it temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines and wrinkles. However, prior to the discovery of the effects of Botox for wrinkle-smoothing, it was used for excess sweating and this treatment is now making a huge impact due to the success of the treatment and considerable lasting time for results.

At Dr. MediSpa, we ask that all our patients come along to a consultation with Dr. Munir Somji, so that he can assess whether you are suitable for treatment with Botox injections for hyperhidrosis/excess sweating. Once he is satisfied that you will benefit from the treatment and that you are medically well, he can proceed.

What areas can be treated with Botox for hyperhidrosis?

Botox for hyperhidrosis can be administered in areas such as the hands, feet, underarms, face and most areas which are affected. The injections take minutes to administer but you may need to have some topical anaesthetic on areas such as the hands or underarms, where it can be a little uncomfortable; This takes around 30 minutes to become effective. Botox injections work by blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. This means that when the sweat glands don’t receive these chemical signals, severe and excess sweating is greatly reduced.

Results can last anything up to 6 months and can give you the freedom to wear the clothes that you want and to face the world with renewed confidence! Why not speak with one of our friendly and kind staff, who can book a no-obligation consultation for you to speak with Dr. Somji about this highly-effective treatment.
