Everybody sweats, it’s a normal part of how our bodies regulate temperature. However, people with hyperhidrosis produce sweat in amounts far greater than needed to control their temperature. Hyperhidrosis is a common condition where the sufferer experiences sweaty feet, sweaty armpits and/or sweaty palms. Hyperhidrosis usually begins to affect people from childhood and adolescence and twenties, but it continues to affect people in their middle years. People with this condition can produce a large volume of sweat. This means that the affected areas may be constantly damp. This may make normal everyday activities more difficult to carry out and it can cause embarrassment at work or socially.

A topical anesthetic is applied where required, and we wait for it to take full effect (about 30 minutes). The botulinum toxin is then injected into the skin, which enters the sweat glands and specifically blocks nerve impulses that cause them to produce sweat. Other functions of the nerves such as sensation of touch are not affected.

Treatment generally lasts about 5 – 8 months. Some clients with mild excessive sweating have treatment just in the spring to see them through the warmer summer months. Others with more severe sweating have treatment twice per year.
