Hyperhidrosis - Stop Underarm Sweating
Underarm excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis is a common problem for men and women and is estimated to affect 1-2% of the UK population.
If you have ever suffered with anxiety and then had sweaty armpits at an occasion where it was so embarrassing you spent most of the time trying to dry the sweat in the toilets or outside then you will know how upsetting this can be. People who suffer with this oversweating happens most days in winter as well as the summer. Often there is no body odour but just a damp patch that shows up and gets worse the more you think about it.
The symptoms of excessive sweating can cause real embarrassment, leaving very visible wet patches on clothing, sometimes with an unpleasant odour. This can affect your day to day living to such an extent that patients are desperate to find a cure at all costs.
The cause of excessive sweating in armpit areas is not really known, although it is thought to run in families. Our patients have already tried deodorants, antiperspirants and other sweating products before coming to us to try out injection treatments.

If excessive underarm sweating affects your daily life, then the BOTOX® armpit sweating treatment is probably ideal for you. With guaranteed results and almost immediate effect, it will dramatically increase your confidence in what you wear and how you feel.We are increasingly finding that our patients have suffered in silence with symptoms thatare easily and quickly treated.
How Treatment Works
BOTOX® is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating that is inadequately managed with topical agents.
BOTOX® helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops.
The treatment involves a series of tiny injections using BOTOX® into the affected area to stop the sweating for up to 8 months. You can return to normal activities that same day. Repeat treatments also give longer lasting results over time. Our stop sweating clinics are in London and Bristol.

Other excessive sweating treatments
The most common methods for stopping sweating in the armpit or underarm area are antiperspirants and deodorants. Products such as Mitchum based can be helpful. Stronger aluminum hydroxide preparations like Driclor are applied at night. These can be helpful in stopping sweat for a few months. However, a tolerance can be generated in which case the effectiveness diminishes. Also patients can be put off by the skin irritation that can quite often occur.>
Other home treatments such as ionophoresis are effective but again expensive and time consuming and need to be done 2-3 times a week. It is the preferred method of choice for sweaty hands and feet.
