EXCESS SWEATING

Excess sweating (Hyperhidrosis) can affect both men and women. It typically occurs in the armpits, but can affect other areas. Its impact can vary from being a minor inconvenience, to causing a great deal of anxiety. In some severe cases it can result in frequent changes of clothing and decreased socialising.

We have several million sweat glands over the body, many of which are located in the armpits and groin. The sweat secreted in these areas is broken down by bacteria to create what is known as body odour.

Treatment: Botulinum treatment to the affected area is extremely effective. Multiple small injections are administered under the skin of the armpit. Onsetting over 2 weeks, this treatment is highly effective at decreasing sweating, and can last up to 6 months. it can dramatically improve someone’s body image and quality of life.
