What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition causing excessive sweating beyond what is needed for temperature regulation. It affects 1-3% of the population and can occur in the underarms, palms, feet, face and groin. Primary hyperhidrosis has no underlying cause. It significantly impacts quality of life and confidence.
How does Botox treat excessive sweating?
Botulinum toxin is injected into the affected area where it blocks the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. The sweat glands are not damaged — they are temporarily switched off. Treatment takes 15-30 minutes with results appearing within 2-7 days.
How long does hyperhidrosis treatment last?
Botox for sweating typically lasts 4-12 months, with most patients getting 6-9 months of significant sweat reduction. Underarms tend to respond longest. Palms and feet may need more frequent retreatment. Some patients find duration increases with repeated treatments.
Is hyperhidrosis treatment available on the NHS?
Botox for hyperhidrosis is available on the NHS in severe cases after other treatments (prescription antiperspirants, iontophoresis) have failed. Wait times can be long and criteria strict. Many patients choose private treatment for faster access and more flexible scheduling.
Does hyperhidrosis treatment hurt?
Underarm treatment is well tolerated with minimal discomfort. Palm and sole treatments are more uncomfortable due to nerve density, so nerve blocks or numbing cream are commonly used. Multiple small injections are placed across the affected area. Most patients describe it as a mild stinging sensation.
