Botox® for Hyperhidrosis - Excessive Sweating
Effective, non-drug based treatment, alleviating overactive sweating.
Botox® is a treatment given by injection into the skin, bringing relief to the many people suffering from axillary hyperhidrosis - excessive underarm sweating. A non-drug based treatment, Botox® is a very pure preparation of protein and when small doses are injected into the skin, Botox® blocks the actions of the nerves that supply the eccrine glands and this prevents the glands from producing sweat. Positive results are generally seen within a week of treatment. In a clinical trial, sweat reduction was reduced by 83% one week after treatment and was reduced by at least half in 95% of patients.*
Dr Rhatigan treats patients with understanding and expertise and is highly experienced in the use of Botox® for a wide range of medical conditions. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes and patients report feeling only a very mild discomfort as the injections are given. It is uncommon for pain relief to be required. Advice about the treatment and a discussion on the potential outcomes is given during your pre-treatment consultation.
The treatment remains effective for several months and can then be repeated.
