The reduction in sweating for underarm hyperhidrosis lasts for up to 9 months. Its duration varies between individuals.
We use botulinum toxin injections (anti-wrinkle treatment) which are placed just under the skin to block the nerve impulses to the sweat glands and reduce sweating.
Due to the low concentration of the Botulinum toxin used this is a very safe treatment for Hyperhidrosis
This treatment is suitable for most people suffering from Hyperhidrosis. However, it should be avoided if you have any of the following:
- Pregnant, trying to conceive or breast feeding
- Muscle problems
- A neurological condition
- A previous reaction to an anti-wrinkle treatment
- Taking a medication to thin your blood
At Radiance our qualified Healthcare Professional will carry out an initial detailed consultation to complete a medical history, examine the areas to treat and discuss the best course of treatment for you. If you decide to proceed with the recommended treatment the injections can be administered on the same day.
The treatment reduces sweating for up to 9 months.
Our clients report a slight pin prick with each injection which is due to the small needle involved. You may be a little tender straight after the injection but will resolve quickly.
Hyperhydrosis injections are a safe treatment. Most people will be able to return to work immediately. The side effects are mild and transient. They include, swelling, tenderness and bruising at the injection site. These usually resolve quickly. Bruising is usually minimal and may take a few days to settle. Our doctors make every effort to reduce side effects.
