Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis) Treatments at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic
It is completely normal to sweat when you exercise, or if it is too hot. It is the natural way for your body to cool you down. But if you are sweating excessively, then it can cause a lot of discomfort and can affect your overall sense of wellbeing. While there is often no obvious cause, it is frequently associated genetics (primary hyperhidrosis), or with underlying medical conditions like fevers (secondary hyperhidrosis). It can also be a side effect of the menopause or when patients take certain medications like beta-blockers.
If you are sweating excessively from the head and face, then you may have a condition called craniofacial hyperhidrosis. This condition can leave patients with damp and dripping faces even when they are stationary or not exercising.
Due to the embarrassing nature of the condition, some people may want to opt for extreme measures like choosing plastic surgery to remove sweat glands. This has become a popular procedure for people who want to minimise excessive sweating in their hands, feet and armpits for example, or profuse sweating all over the body. However, there is a non-surgical treatment that prevents heavy sweating from interfering with work or daily life. Read more about this condition on our “How To Treat Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)” Q&A blog.
At The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, we offer a quick and effective treatment to minimise the process of heavy sweating with a simple injection. Hyperhidrosis can be treated with injections of botulinum toxin: an FDA-approved medicine that is a muscle relaxant used by doctors in the UK for years to help patients suffering from excessive sweating.
Botulinum toxin is injected into sweat glands in the armpits, hands or feet in a procedure that’s both simple and safe. This clinically proven procedure works wonders at stopping excessive sweating in its tracks, giving patients dramatic and life-changing results without any pain or surgical recovery time.
