Sweating is a natural bodily function, but for some people, excessive sweating – known as hyperhidrosis – can significantly impact their daily lives. Whether it’s sweaty palms, damp underarms, or even sweat-soaked clothing, hyperhidrosis can affect your confidence, comfort, and social interactions. At Omniya Clinic, we offer a highly effective solution: Botox for sweating. This treatment can reduce excessive sweating by up to 80%, offering long-lasting relief and a dramatic improvement in quality of life.
It is normal to sweat – often when you exercise or get hot. Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which the body produces excessive sweat in response to stimuli that wouldn’t usually require cooling.
While sweating is a natural way for the body to regulate temperature, those with hyperhidrosis experience overactive sweat glands that result in extreme perspiration. This can affect specific areas of the body, such as the underarms, hands, feet, chest, or face, and can be triggered by stress, medications, or underlying medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism. For many individuals, hyperhidrosis significantly impacts daily life, leading to discomfort, embarrassment, and a reduced quality of life.
Botox, widely known for its cosmetic use, is also an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis and is approved by both the FDA and UK health regulators for this purpose. When injected into the areas affected by excessive sweating, Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for stimulating the sweat glands, leading to a noticeable reduction in sweat production. The treatment is quick, but does require a consultation with a medical professional.
The results can last from 4 to 14 months, depending on individual factors such as the severity of the condition and the area being treated.
varies per patient
Your clinician will begin with a thorough consultation to ensure you may be suitable for Botox for sweating. This will include assessing the areas where you experience excessive sweating. The treatment itself is straightforward and typically lasts about 15-30 minutes.
Using fine needles, Botox is injected into the targeted areas to block the sweat glands. Most patients report minimal discomfort, and there is no need for downtime after the procedure. You can resume your usual activities immediately.
After undergoing Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis, patients typically notice a significant reduction in sweat production within two weeks. For underarm treatments, the effects generally last between 4 to 6 months on average, although some patients experience longer lasting results. When sweating begins to return, patients can opt for follow-up treatments.
The ability to regain control over excessive sweating can dramatically improve quality of life, giving individuals the confidence to wear a broader range of clothing without the worry of sweat stains or odour.
Botox is becoming an increasingly popular treatment for hyperhidrosis, particularly in the UK. A 2016 study estimated that approximately 365,000 people in the UK suffer from severe hyperhidrosis that significantly impacts their lives. While not everyone with hyperhidrosis requires Botox, many individuals find it a life-changing option after exhausting other treatments. More recent data suggest that Botox is one of the most sought-after solutions for managing excessive sweating, especially among those aged between 20 and 50, who are often most affected by the condition.
At Omniya Clinic, the cost of Botox for hyperhidrosis starts at £500 per session. The price varies depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of injections required. During your consultation, we will provide a personalised plan tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that you receive the best possible outcome, and you will be informed of your suitability and cost of treatment during your consultation.
Hyperhidrosis is considered to be caused by a problem with the body’s nervous system. In particular, it is the part that controls sweating. It can be triggered by pregnancy, menopause, anxiety, low blood sugar, overactive thyroid, infections and medication.
