Treatment FAQ
how can botox treat excessive sweating?
- The use of Botox® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) to treat and prevent excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis) when injected into the respective areas of the body - most commonly the underarm area or palms of the hands. Although it has been officially approved by the FDA as a treatment to reduce sweating, it is not widely available on the NHS in the UK and availability varies across localities.
- Using Botox to prevent sweating is a simple, non-invasive procedure that involves treating the problematic area with a series of injections to relax the sweat glands and reduce excessive perspiration.
- The treatment is highly effective and can reduce sweating by as much as around 90%.

which areas can be treated?
The underarm area tends to be the most common request. An area of concern for a number of women is just beneath the bust, and this responds very well to treatment. If you have an area of concern which is not mentioned here please just get in touch to make a confidential enquiry.
CAN BOTOX BE USED TO TREAT SWEATING ON THE HEAD OR FACE?
The head, neck, scalp, face (for example upper lip) and forehead area can all be treated to reduce perspiration too. Please just let us know what area you have in mind when you get in touch with the clinic, and the best thing is always to discuss in consultation.
"It should be pointed out that while the Botox injections I use to prevent sweating are very superficial compared to those used for cosmetic reasons, some muscle relaxing can, and often does still occur. For this reason, great care must be taken when injecting the face and forehead if the sole aim is to reduce sweating alone." - Rosie

CAN A WRINKLE REDUCTION TREATMENT ALSO PREVENT SWEATING?
"Yes, as a pleasant side effect, when Botox is used to remove wrinkles (for example on the forehead) sweating will often be reduced in the treated area too." - Rosie
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE OR FEEL RESULTS?
The initial treatment begins to take effect within 4 to 7 days, and full effects can be felt at 2-3 weeks post-treatment
HOW LONG CAN I EXPECT RESULTS TO LAST?
As when Botox is used in any other application, to treat wrinkles and lines or more clinical reasons, it is not a permanent product. When used to treat and prevent excessive sweating, the effects of Botox generally last longer (particularly for the underarm area) than when used for more cosmetic purposes.
"Most clients report a benefit for around 6 to 9 months before perspiration gradually returns to its regular level, at which point you'll know it's time to return for another treatment." - Rosie

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?
- There is minimal to no downtime with Botox procedures - you may have some localised redness, bruising or soreness due to the injections but these will diminish over the course of a day or a few days or so in the case of bruising. It is normal to experience slight tingling or slight pain at injection sites and this will diminish.
- If you ever have any questions or concerns at all following any procedure please do not hesitate to contact us - we are always happy to assist and place great importance on your post-procedure care.
do i need a consultation prior to treatment?
Botox is a prescription only medication. Prior to prescribing a personalised Botox treatment for treating Hyperhidrosis at either our Oxford or Leamington Spa clinic you will always meet Rosie to discuss your reasons for seeking treatment, your overall health and medical history, including any allergies you may have to ensure suitability.

are injections for excess sweating treatment painful?
"While the underarm area, for example, is quite sensitive, my clients report that the injections are only mildly uncomfortable. However, having an area like the palms of your hands or soles of your feet naturally will be more painful. That said, the needle is very fine and the injections for Hyperhidrosis are still superficial, and I will always use the best anaesthetic creams available to ensure that client discomfort is kept to a minimum." - Rosie
