Excess Sweating

Excessive  Sweating (Hyperhidrosis), is a medical condition that can affect many parts of the body, mainly underarms, hands and feet. This can be very embarrassing and may have a major impact on our quality of life. 

There is a simple and effective treatment to reduce the sweat gland production that over a period of time slowly decreases the amount of sweat produced.  The sweat gland production is reduced by injecting minute amounts of Botulinum Toxin A  into the affected areas ,mainly armpits (axilla), hands and feet. The treatment may take up to 14 days to reduced the amount of sweat prodeced. Some may required a second treatment.  Once effective will reduce sweat production for up to 6 months, depending upon individual lifestyle..

Before a full medical consultation, outlining the  treatment process, possible side effects and aftercare are fully discussed  with Jayne before any course treatment may be  administered. Important to allow a few days inbetween consultation and treatment date. 

Treatment

On day of treatment consent will be required and an 'iodine test ' will be performed to detect and assess the sweat production. Please wear darker loose clothing.  Your axilla will be cleansed and marked like a grid pattern. Then tiny injections of the medication is injected under the skin. This generally is not painful but may sting . May need up to 15-20 small injections. Afterward completed the skin is cleansed again .
