About the procedure
Botulinum toxin can temporarily reduce sweat-gland activity by affecting nerve signals. It may be considered for selected forms of excessive sweating after an appropriate indication has been established.
Your consultation
Assessment clarifies the affected areas, symptom onset, daily impact and medical history. Sometimes sweating has a cause requiring investigation or another treatment; injections do not replace that assessment.
What to expect
- Assess the sweating pattern and options already tried.
- Discuss the area, preparation and potential benefit.
- Perform indicated injections and arrange a response review.
Recovery and follow-up
Local pain, tenderness and bruising may occur. Depending on the area, temporary muscle weakness is possible; specific risks are explained before treatment.
What to consider
The effect is temporary and varies between individuals. The cause of sweating remains important when selecting treatment; response and any need for repetition are reviewed at follow-up.
Common questions
Is a diagnosis needed beforehand?
Yes. It matters whether sweating is localised or widespread, when it began and whether other symptoms are present.
What if injections are unsuitable?
Other control options and, where needed, further assessment can be discussed. The choice is adapted to the cause and affected area.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
