What is hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that can affect various parts of the body, including the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and face.

At Dr. Ducu Clinics, we specialise in treating hyperhidrosis with Bo.tox injections, a proven solution that can significantly reduce sweating in these affected areas, helping you achieve a more comfortable and confident lifestyle.

How do bo.tox injections for sweating work?

Bo.tox injections for sweating work by blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating the sweat glands. When injected into the areas affected by hyperhidrosis, such as the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet, Bo.tox temporarily prevents these glands from producing excessive sweat.

The treatment is minimally invasive and can effectively reduce sweating for several months, providing significant relief if you suffered from this condition for a long time.

Hyperhidrosis injections VS medication - What to choose?

When choosing between hyperhidrosis injections and medication, injections are often the preferred option due to their effectiveness, convenience, and fewer systemic side effects. Botulinum toxin (Bo.tox) injections work by blocking the nerve signals that trigger excessive sweating, providing targeted relief for areas like the underarms, hands, feet, and forehead. The results can last 4 to 6 months, significantly reducing sweat production with minimal downtime. 

In contrast, oral medications such as anticholinergics can help but often come with unwanted side effects like dry mouth, dizziness, or blurred vision, as they affect the entire body rather than just the problem area. Topical treatments may offer temporary relief but are not as long-lasting or effective as injections. If you are seeking a safe, localised, and long-term solution, hyperhidrosis injections are a superior choice, offering fast-acting and reliable results without the drawbacks of systemic medication.

Hyperhidrosis treatment at Dr. Ducu Clinics London

1. Consultation

The hyperhidrosis treatment begins with a thorough consultation where a healthcare provider at Dr. Ducu Clinics evaluates the severity of the hyperhidrosis and discusses your medical history to ensure Bo.tox injections are an appropriate solution. During this consultation, the specific areas of excessive sweating are identified, and the your are informed about the procedure and expected outcomes.

2. Bo.tox injections for sweating

The actual injection process involves administering Bo.tox into the targeted areas with excessive sweating, such as the underarms, palms, or feet. The procedure is relatively quick, usually taking about 20 to 30 minutes, and is performed using fine needles to minimise discomfort. The number of injections depends on the treatment area’s size and the condition’s severity.

3. Aftercare

Post-treatment, you can resume your daily activities immediately, although you will be advised to avoid intense exercise, heat exposure, and massaging the treated areas for a short period to ensure the Bo.tox remains localised and effective. Mild soreness or bruising may occur but usually subsides within a few days.

4. Results

The effects of Bo.tox injections for hyperhidrosis become noticeable within a week to two weeks, with a significant reduction in sweating. These results can last from 4 to 6 months, and sometimes longer, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain the sweat-reducing effects.

Hyperhidrosis treatment in London - Frequently asked questions

Ideal candidates for hyperhidrosis injections are individuals who suffer from excessive sweating that is not adequately controlled with topical treatments like antiperspirants. Those seeking a temporary but effective solution to manage their sweating issues, with minimal downtime and invasive intervention, are well-suited for this treatment.

Hyperhidrosis treatment can effectively target several areas prone to excessive sweating, including:

  • Underarms (Axillary Hyperhidrosis) – This is the most common area treated for excessive sweating, offering significant relief.
  • Palms (Palmar Hyperhidrosis) – Treatment can reduce hand sweating, improving grip and social interactions.
  • Soles of the Feet (Plantar Hyperhidrosis) – Reduces sweating on the foot, decreasing odor and slipperiness in footwear.
  • Face and Scalp (Facial Hyperhidrosis) – Can alleviate excessive facial and scalp sweating, reducing discomfort and improving facial appearance.

The effects of treatment for excessive sweating, particularly with Bo.tox injections, are typically noticeable within 2 to 4 days after the procedure, with the full impact becoming evident within 2 weeks.

For underarm sweating, booster injections are generally needed every 7 to 16 months. Results may not last as long for the hands and feet, and you may need to repeat your treatment after about 6 months.

The treatment for excessive sweating is safe and effective but may carry some risks and side effects. These can include temporary pain, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, occasional flu-like symptoms, or headaches.

After the procedure the following activities are forbidden, for at least 3 weeks in most cases: manipulating the area(s) of injection, alcohol use, exposure to sun or other types of radiations, extreme temperatures (such as hot/cold showers, sauna, etc), using products for skin that are not recommended by the doctor for the area undergoing the procedure, makeup (may be not recommended for a period of time), any movements or actions of/on the area that can affect or traumatise the area (such as massaging the area, hitting, procedures or treatments on the area unless previously being assessed and deemed suitable by a healthcare practitioner).

There may be some swelling and bruising post procedure whichis a normal reaction, if any concerns please contact the Dr Ducu London team. We will always keep in contact with you to ensure you are well and for any enquires please feel free to contact us any time.

Most patients need about 50 units of Bo.tox hyperhidrosis injections per underarm to experience a reduction in underarm sweating. The injectable is administered into the grid pattern drawn on the armpit on the day of the treatment.

The price it’s determinate by the amount that the doctor will be using to achieve the results and the number of areas that need to be treated. The best course of action will be to book in a consultation with one of our doctors.

Bo.tox injections have been FDA approved to treat excessive sweating. In the skin, Bo.tox selectively turns off the sweat glands resulting in a normal appearance without wetness. Treatment is performed during an outpatient clinic visit and no recuperative time or special care is needed afterward.
