Excessive Sweating (Axillary Hyperhidrosis)
at 111 Harley St. London

One of the most important ways in which the body regulates its temperature is through sweating. Unfortunately people who suffer from axillary hyperhidrosis produce sweat in amounts far greater than needed to control their body temperature. This can make life difficult as normal daily activities can be severely compromised by the evidence of excessive sweating. It can affect the choice of clothes, their colour, also causing embarrassment both at work and socially.

Axillary hyperhidrosis is caused by over activity of the eccrine gland. These glands can be found on many areas of the body surface but are concentrated on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet and under the armpits.

Fortunately the effects of over active eccrine glands can be controlled with injections that block the actions of the nerves that supply them, restricting their activity and preventing them from producing as much sweat. For the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis we use only the highest quality, safe, and proven inhibitors such as Botox, Dysport and Azzalure.

This is a highly effective treatment and can be truly life changing, giving sufferers renewed confidence and the ability to be less cautious with their wardrobe.

Treating Axillary Hyperhidrosis

The procedure, which is injected with a tiny needle just beneath the skin’s surface, takes about 30 minutes yet its effects can last up to 9 months.

The procedure is painless because numbing cream can be applied to the area to be treated and there is no need to schedule any recovery time. Most importantly the effect of the treatment has a rapid onset of only 3 days with a significant reduction is sweating evident within a week.

There is the small possibility of mild side effects such as transient bruising, swelling, redness etc. These all heal quickly but should be fully explained by a specialist practitioner.
