Excessive sweating treatment

Sweat is something we all worry about from time-to-time, but if it’s forcing you to avoid certain clothes, activities or situations, and destroying your confidence, it’s time to tackle excess sweating. Here at The Oxford Smile Clinics, we can provide a safe and effective treatment to keep excessive sweat under control.

Causes of excess sweating

Causes of excess sweating

Experts believe that hyperhidrosis is caused by the brain mistakenly sending a message to stimulate the sweat glands unnecessarily. It can also be brought on by:

  • Stress
  • Hormones
  • Heat
  • Spicy or heavily salted food
  • Family history of hyperhidrosis

You are not alone

Hyperhidrosis is a condition that affects around 1% of the population, making this uncomfortable and embarrassing problem more common than you might think. Thankfully, Botox treatments can provide you with a simple and safe solution.

A simple solution

Wearing loose-fitting, cotton clothes, maintaining good hygiene and avoiding stimulants like caffeine can all help to lessen excess sweat (hyperhidrosis), but sometimes it’s simply not enough. This is why we offer a treatment that uses small doses of Botox applied in a grid-like pattern to block the nerves that supply sweat glands and prevent sweat production.

Benefits

  • Dramatically reduces sweat production
  • Quick and long-lasting results
  • Gives you freedom in your day-to-day life, whether that means holding hands with a loved one, wearing clothes with confidence, hitting the gym or heading to hot holiday destinations
  • Improves confidence

FAQs

Will Botox injections stop me sweating altogether?
While each person will respond differently to treatment, research shows that people experience an average sweat reduction of 87% just one week after having Botox injections.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Excessive sweating usually starts to decrease noticeably within two days and the results can last from anywhere between 6-12 months, after which we can provide repeat treatment.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure only lasts between 30 and 40 minutes, and you’ll be able to carry out normal daily activities within two hours.
Do Botox injections hurt?
We use very fine needles to administer Botox, which not only guarantees accuracy, but means that your treatment is virtually pain free.
What do Botox injections contain?
They use a purified protein called botulinum toxin type A, which helps to block the nerves that supply sweat glands.
Are there any side effects?
Botox is a very safe procedure and does not typically produce side-effects. You may experience mild bruising after the procedure, but this should subside within a few days.
