Excessive Sweating Treatment in Bournemouth

Botox can be used for excessive underarm sweating to block the action of the nerves that activate the sweat glands. Most patients report a greater than 90% reduction in localised sweating following treatment. Those who sweat a lot under the armpits can often become self conscious and look for an effective treatment.

Botox is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for underarm hyperhidrosis with minimal risks. Tiny amounts of Botox are injected into the underarm area which then blocks the nerves that activate the sweat glands.

Treatment for hyperhidrosis takes around 30 minutes. A temporary dye may be used to establish the areas where perspiration is greatest. Several injections with an ultra-fine needle are made into the under arm area. Although the treatment is not painful, a topical anesthetic can be applied 45 minutes before the procedure to reduce discomfort.

The treatments require a frequency of approximately 6-12 monthly depending on treatment plan which will be fully discussed prior to commencing any treatment.

After Treatment

  • Results will typically be seen within 3-5 days of treatment with the full effect evident within 2 weeks. New nerve re-growth occurs in 6-12 weeks with the effect gradually wearing off within 4-6 months, although many patients have relief up to a year.
  • You may experience slight bruising, and a mild tingling around the area treated lasting 2-3 days after treatment. Discomfort can be alleviated by cooling with an ice pack. Repeat injections may be required to reduce sweating to the desired level.
