What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a common condition in which a person sweats excessively in certain areas of the body. People with excessive sweating suffer from the condition known as severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis which affects one in twenty people worldwide. Some people are so embarrassed by this condition that they never seek help.

Excessive sweating can be challenging to treat and it may take a while to find a treatment right for you. Changing your lifestyle cannot cure primary hyperhidrosis (hyperhidrosis with no obvious cause), but it can improve your symptoms and help your confidence.

Botulinum Toxin Type A Injections for Hyperhidrosis

For many years, Botulinum Toxin Type A has been used to medically treat cases of hyperhidrosis. It is administered by injection into carefully targeted areas of the body affected by hyperhidrosis, most commonly in the armpits. The Botulinum Toxin Type A reduces sweating by blocking the signals from the brain to the sweat glands.

Small injections are given in each armpit.
The procedure usually takes about 30-45 minutes in total.
The effect of the injections usually lasts for 3-4 months, after which time the treatment can be repeated if necessary.

"Fantastic dentist"

I hadn’t been to the dentist for year as i’ve always been too scared!! I plucked up the courage after Dr Ketan Sheth treated my 9 and 11 year old children and they were fine. Can honestly say now I don’t know why I didn’t go sooner. Dr Ketan Sheth is a fantastic dentist and all the staff and the surgery as a whole there is 5 star! Thank you for all your help and see you in 6 months.

"Immaculately Clean"

I have been using FACEMED for a number of years now for natural, painless Botox injections. A few years ago I decided to also have Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery. The clinic has its own operating theatre for the Consultant Plastic Surgeon to perform surgery, the results were perfect. FACEMED is immaculately clean, the staff are professional and helpful and Monica is an absolute expert in her field.
