Excessive Sweating Treatment

Excessive sweating is an and uncomfortable condition that affects around 3% of the UK population. It can have a serious effect on a sufferer’s working and social life.

sweating – or hyperhidrosis – can have a serious effect on a sufferer’s working and social life and many people simply avoid doing things they would otherwise love to do because they are too embarrassed about their sweating.

Types of Hyperhidrosis

There are two main types of hyperhidrosis:

Wrinkle injections have been used as an effective treatment for excessive sweating/hyperhidrosis since 1994.

The Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale

or excessive sweating is when your body produces an increased and non-physiological amount of sweat. The Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) grades excessive sweating according to how it affects your life;

The Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale is a great diagnostic tool to measure of the of your condition.

A score of grade 2 indicates that you may be suffering from mild or moderate hyperhidrosis but grades 3 to 4 indicates severe hyperhidrosis and a perfect for treatment.

Hyperhidrosis Treatment

We offer a wrinkle injection treatment for hyperhidrosis performed only by specialist doctors, nurses and surgeons who are fully trained and qualified in the particular procedure.

The treatment works by blocking the transmission of the nerve impulses to the sweat glands which as a result decreases the amount you sweat/perspire.

At The Private Clinic we only use wrinkle injections to minimise excessive sweating in the armpits. This treatment has been known to treat the hands and feet but due to the discomfort, downtime and potential side effects that performing the treatment in these areas can bring on we do not treat hand or feet for excessive sweating at The Private Clinic.

The minimum legal age for a botulinum toxin is 18 years old. We do not provide treatments to anyone under 18 years old at The Private Clinic and we may ask for ID at the time of your appointment.

All non-surgical procedures are offered at the same locations through our trusted sister clinic, The Cosmetic Skin Clinic. Discover more or book your consultation today via .

We usually that you come in for a consultation first to your concerns and our nurse, doctor or surgeon can go through your medical history and make sure that you are suitable for treatment.

Before treatment, you need to make sure that your armpits are shaven at least 2-3 days prior as this makes it easier for us to identify the areas that suffer the most from excessive sweating.

You will have a topical anaesthetic applied to the area before to make the treatment more comfortable. Once the anaesthetic has taken effect your doctor, nurse or surgeon will begin injecting the armpit with a series of small botulinum toxin type A injections to cover the entire area.

You will notice a in the amount you sweat one week after your treatment.

If you have not noticed a difference after 2 weeks then we recommend you come back in for a follow-up – a repeat treatment can be carried out to treat the missed areas.

Your results tend to last between 6-9 months but it can differ between patients. To continue achieving the best results we advise having the treatment every 6 months to avoid excessive returning.

According to Allergan, in clinical trials, 89% of patients who had treatment were satisfied after a single week and 93% of patients were still satisfied after 16 weeks of treatment.

You will be able to resume your normal activities after treatment but strenuous activities should be avoided for 24 hours after treatment. You may feel a little bruised in the treatment areas for 1-2 days after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are lots of risks of surgery including scarring, nerve damage, and loss of sensation. Some patients can also develop compensatory sweating that causes them to sweat even more heavily than they did from hyperhidrosis.

We do not offer sympathectomy surgery for hyperhidrosis at our clinics. Our wrinkle are a great non-surgical treatment option that can provide patients with at least 6 months of relief from excessive sweating.
