Hyperhydrosis

Hyperhydrosis affects the amount of perspiration produced, and the condition can leave the hands, chest, armpits or feet constantly damp, making everyday activities difficult to carry out, and causing embarrassment to the sufferer.

Botox is used to treat this condition by injecting small amounts under the skin where the perspiration is the greatest, blocking the action of the nerves that supply the sweat glands. Most people report good results in 1 week but the effects wear off over time, which is when you will need your next treatment. (generally every 7 months or so)

A treatment generally takes about 30 minutes to perform. You can resume your normal routine straight afterwards.
