Hyperhidrosis Treatment 

Are you tired of the constant struggle with excessive sweating? Hyperhidrosis affects millions, making daily activities a challenge. But now, there's a solution: botulinum toxin treatment.

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for regulating body temperature. It often affects specific areas of the body such as the underarms, palms, feet, and face. This condition can cause significant discomfort, social anxiety, and emotional distress, impacting the quality of life for those who suffer from it.

Botulinum Toxin is one of the ways this can be treated. This injectable is produced by a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum and is used in very small doses. The toxin is injected just below the skin in the area being treated. The toxin reduces the ability of the sweat glands to produce sweat.

Why Choose Botulinum Toxin?

Botulinum toxin offers a groundbreaking approach to managing hyperhidrosis. Here's why it's the preferred choice for many:

  • Effective: Provides long-lasting relief from excessive sweating.
  • Quick Results: Noticeable improvement within days of treatment.
  • Simple Procedure: Non-surgical and minimally invasive.

What are the products used?

There are many different versions of the Botulinum Toxin available, produced by different pharmaceutical companies. At TK Aesthetics we use the original BOTOX® produced by Allergan® or Bocouture® from Merz®. These products have been around for many years and have been used for decades in medical practice with a significant amount of research published about their efficacy and safety.

Benefits of Botulinum Toxin Treatment 

  • Increased Confidence: No more worrying about sweat stains or odor.
  • Enhanced Comfort: Enjoy activities without the constant discomfort of sweating.Improved
  • Quality of Life: Focus on what matters most without the distraction of hyperhidrosis.
  • Quick & Simple: Treatments are outpatient procedures, often taking less than an hour.
  • Minimal Downtime: Resume your normal activities almost immediately.

Understanding the Risks

  • Temporary Muscle Weakness: Near the injection site.
  • Localised Pain or Discomfort: Usually mild and temporary.
  • Allergic Reactions: Rare, but possible.
  • Infection: As with any injection, there’s a slight risk of infection.
  • Botulinum Spread: Rarely, the toxin can spread beyond the treatment area.

Are they safe?

Botulimum Toxin injections are a prescription only medication and as with all medications carry the risk of some side effects (see here). BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) has been in medical use now for over 20 years and has one of the best safety profiles of all of the Botulinum Toxin products. 

However as with any medical treatment or procedure it is important that you discuss any concerns about the potential risk and side effects with your medical professional and satisfy yourself that you are happy to proceed with the treatment.
