Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that goes beyond the body's normal cooling needs. It can affect various areas of the body, including the underarms, palms, feet, and face. People with hyperhidrosis may experience persistent and uncontrollable sweating, even in cool or relaxed environments, which can significantly impact their daily lives and self-confidence.

​

While sweating is a normal bodily function, hyperhidrosis can be socially distressing and affect a person's emotional well-being. However, there are various treatment options available to manage and reduce excessive sweating. 
 

At Caroline Harris Appearance Medicine, we offer botulinum toxin injections as a highly effective treatment for hyperhidrosis. Botulinum toxin is commonly used to address this condition by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat production, providing relief and reducing excessive sweating.
 

During the treatment, a series of small injections are strategically administered to the under arm area. The botulinum toxin works by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for activating sweat glands. By blocking these signals, the excessive sweating is significantly reduced or even eliminated.
 

Botulinum toxin injections for hyperhidrosis are safe and minimally invasive, with minimal discomfort and downtime. The treatment typically takes around one hour, and the results can last for several months, offering long-lasting relief from excessive sweating.
