Excessive sweating
Reduce the misery of hyperhidrosis in a life-changing way
Botulinum is used for medical conditions related to muscle spasms and excessive sweating. It prevents the release of neuromodulator (acetyl choline) from the nerve endings that innervate muscles. This results in muscle relaxation. When used for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), it prevents the triggering of sweat glands and so reduces sweat production.
An injection of Botulinum will be made into targeted areas, such as the face, the palms of the hands, and the armpits. The procedure will takes just a few minutes, and the first results will be become visible in a few days. Your results will peak a couple of weeks later and will remain in place for 3-4 months. Regular top-up appointments will prevent you from returning to suffering from full-blown hyperhidrosis symptoms in the future.
