Botulinum Toxin Treatments For Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

We all sweat but excessive sweating is recognised as a medical condition (Hyperhidrosis) and can be embarrassing and inconvenient for sufferers.

People with Hyperhidrosis find normal deodorants don’t work for them and that sweat can go through clothing or drip on their face and body, which is not only uncomfortable, it is unsightly and can make everyday life from business meetings to social events, awkward.

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has recognised that BOTOX® is an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis for areas including underarms, hands, feet, head and the face.

BOTOX® injections stop sweating by inhibiting the nerves in the skin that control it. These nerves send signals to our sweat glands to trigger them and by stopping this signal, you will effectively stop the glands from producing sweat.

The treatment is a great relief for sufferers and here at Inspire, can be done in around 30 min session, after which you can go about your normal day.

Most patients start to see results between two to four days, and you will see the full effect of the treatment after a fortnight.

Your Botulinum Toxin treatment for hyperhidrosis should last six months and maybe as long as eight months, so the average patient will need it twice a year.

The cost starts from £500 for hyperhidrosis treatment and prices vary depending on the amount of Botulinum Toxin needed as this may differ for patients.
