The treatment is virtually painless. Your skin is cooled or numbed beforehand with a special cream to minimise any discomfort. You’ll feel a few small pricks, but they’re quick and mild. Sensitive areas such as the hands and feet can be a little more uncomfortable, but numbing makes this easy to manage.

You’ll start sweating less within a few days, with the full effect usually reached after 10 to 14 days. You’ll notice your underarms, hands or feet stay much drier, even when it’s warm or you’re feeling stressed.

Yes. Botox is a safe, approved treatment for hyperhidrosis that doctors and specialists around the world have used for years. The injections are placed just beneath the surface of the skin and work locally.

Yes. As well as the underarms, hands and feet, botox can also be used on the scalp, back, chest and groin, all areas where excessive sweating can be a problem. During your consultation, we’ll look at what suits you best.

In some cases, especially with severe hyperhidrosis, botox for excessive sweating is covered by health insurance, but this varies by insurer and policy. Check with your insurer to see if you’re eligible.
