Botox for Sweating

Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is a very common problem.

Do You… 

• Sweat a lot...at home & at work in summer and in winter?
• Sweat if anxious or stressed? 
• Have to change your clothes frequently? 
• Perspire excessively at certain times of the day or after having alcohol, coffee, tea, hot or spicy food? 
• Feel you quality of life is being affected?  

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a common disorder which produces a lot of unhappiness. Excessive sweating of the underarms or of the palms and soles of the feet are most common. Heat and emotions may trigger hyperhidrosis in some, but many who suffer from this sweat nearly all the time, regardless of their mood or the weather. Excessive sweating is embarrassing and often complicates business and social interactions and in severe cases excess sweat can have serious practical consequences. 

How We Can Help You

At Woodford Medical we recommend Botox injections to help treat excessive sweating. The tiny pin prick injections will help block the actions of the nerves to prevent the glands from producing sweat. As Botox injections are not permanent, new nerve endings will grow again and start to produce sweat but the treatment should last several months depending on the level of your problem.

If this is a problem that you suffer from, you do not have to endure this embarassment anymore. Our doctors frequently treat this condition with great results, and we are confident we can make a difference and improve the quality of your life.

Important Social Occasion?

Increasingly, underarm Botox is being used to prevent sweating at important social events such as weddings and conferences. Glossy magazines often report many celebrities taking advantage of this treatment at high profile occasions like the Oscars and the Baftas. Underarm Botox is now available to us all and can be used as a one-off treatment to alleviate your worries and concerns at significant times.
