Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis) Treatments in Essex
Hyperhidrosis means excessive sweating. Sweating is one of the most important ways in which the body loses heat, however, people with Hyperhidrosis produce sweat in amounts far greater than needed to control their temperature.
Botox is a very pure preparation of a protein, Botulinum toxin type A. When small doses are injected into the skin, Botox blocks the actions of the nerves that supply the eccrine glands; this prevents the glands from producing sweat.
Who is treatment suitable for?
Subject to initial medical screening, both men and women of any age and with all skin types can benefit from the treatment. You should NOT have treatment if you are pregnant or breast feeding.
How long does treatment take?
Using a very fine needle, a small amount of a solution of Botox is injected into 10 to 15 places about 1cm apart and spread evenly in each armpit. Sometimes a dye is used to show up the areas where sweating is greatest and where the injections should be placed. A single treatment takes about 30 minutes. You should notice some change for the better within a week of your treatment.
Effects last between 3-6 months.
