Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can be a physical and psychological burden. Occuring along the underarms, hands, feet and face, these forms of focal hyperhidrosis can be effectively managed with minimally invasive techniques.

There are two main forms of hyperhidrosis – focal and generalised hyperhidrosis. Both can have underlying causes, ranging from medication, genetic issues, or other underlying medical issues. It is important to manage the underlying issue, but the symptom of sweating itself can easily be managed with topical therapy and botulinum toxin injections.

Botox is a neuro-modulator that reduces the activity of targeted muscle groups. Placed into the treated area by means of a fine needle injection, it temporarily reduces the contraction capability of the muscle by reducing nerve signals to the muscle, reducing visible wrinkling.

Injected into the skin, Botulinum Toxin reduces sweat gland activity and tightens the skin. This allows treatment of conditions such as hyperhidrosis.
