Relief from the discomfort and embarrassment caused by hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a condition that results in the production of sweat beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. This condition can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, leading to discomfort, embarrassment, and social anxiety. Botox, commonly known for its cosmetic applications, has been approved as a treatment for hyperhidrosis. It can effectively reduce sweating in targeted regions such as the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, or forehead.
A consultation with Dr Rachel will allow her to determine whether Botox is the right option for you and to tailor the treatment plan specifically to your needs. It’s an opportunity for you to ask questions and address any concerns you may have about the procedure. Rachel will explain how Botox works to reduce excessive sweating, what you can expect during the treatment, and the potential side effects. By having a clear understanding of the process and setting realistic expectations, you are more likely to achieve satisfactory results.

Frequently asked questions
You should notice a significant reduction in sweating within 10-14 days after the treatment. This timeline allows the Botox to fully take effect by blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating the sweat glands. It’s essential you attend your follow up appointments with Dr Rachel to assess the treatment’s effectiveness and determine if any additional sessions are needed.
The effects of excessive sweating treatment tend to last for approximately 3 months. This duration can vary based on individual factors such as metabolism, the severity of hyperhidrosis, and the specific areas treated. During this period, patients generally experience a significant reduction in sweating, leading to improved comfort and quality of life. After the effects begin to wear off, repeat treatments will be necessary to maintain the desired results.
Some patients have a natural resistance to the toxin, meaning that the treatment may be less effective or even ineffective for them. Additionally, certain medical conditions and medications may prevent the use of Botox for excessive sweating treatment. Dr Rachel will be able to advise you in more detail when she meets you for your consultation.
As with any injection, you may experience some mild discomfort, but many patients report that the pain is highly manageable. A topical numbing cream can be applied prior to administering the injections. This cream is applied to the skin and helps to desensitise the area, making the procedure more tolerable.
Botox can block the nerves responsible for triggering the sweat glands. When injected into the affected areas, Botox inhibits the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, which stimulates the sweat glands. By preventing the release of this chemical, Botox effectively reduces sweating in the treated area.
