What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis, in medical terms, means excessive sweating. Sweating is the body’s natural cooling mechanism, but when you sweat more than your body needs to, it’s called hyperhidrosis. Excessive sweating is most common on the forehead, palms, soles, and armpits. If you’re experiencing hyperhidrosis in Leicester, you’re not alone, many patients seek sweating treatment options to regain their comfort and confidence.
There may be underlying medical reasons for this to occur, and it is recommended that all patients have these investigated before deciding on the most appropriate treatment. Often, no underlying cause is identified and the condition is described as ‘idiopathic’ or ‘primary’.
The Treatment and How It Works
The treatment involves Botox® injections for sweating. These injections help relax the small sweat glands located deep in the surface of the skin. These sweat glands produce sweat, which then travels up the sweat duct and out through the pores onto the surface of the skin. Once these sweat glands are relaxed, they stop them from producing sweat, and that excessive sweating is no longer seen or felt at the skin’s surface. This is a common and effective approach to managing Botox for hyperhidrosis symptoms.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
The treatment is effective for excessive underarm and forehead sweating. And, We commonly perform botox for underarm sweating, face sweating, and underarm sweating as part of our clinic’s expertise in sweating treatments.You’ll find all the treatment options you need for this condition right here at our clinic.
What Does Botox® Sweating Treatment Involve?
The Doctor will have a short consultation with you to ensure which treatment is right for you. Botox® for hyperhidrosis has been the most successful way to combat excessive sweating, where other methods have been unsuccessful.
For this treatment, numbing cream is applied to the skin to make the procedure more comfortable.
The treatment only takes 30 mins, involving very small botox injections just under the skin in the affected areas.
Does It Hurt?
The injection is relatively painless, and you may feel a slight prick. An anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand to make the procedure more comfortable. Many patients seeking Botox for excessive sweating find the process quick and easy to tolerate.
Are There Any Side Effects?
The main advantage of this sweating treatment compared to alternative treatments is the simplicity of the process and the relatively few side effects, such as mild pain in the treatment area that subsides quickly. The treatment has minimum downtime, so the patient can continue with their daily activities as normal.
How Long Will the Results Last?
Treatment is usually very effective. The result is a near-total elimination of underarm and facial sweating, lasting up to 6 months with a single treatment. It is important to note that hyperhidrosis injections are not curative. Symptoms eventually recur and require further treatment.
