ANTI-SWEAT TREATMENT
Anti-sweat treatments to help you stay fresh and confident for weeks.
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be a
life hindering and stressful problem for many people.
Botulinum Toxin A (BOTOX), which is usually known for its
use in anti-wrinkle treatment, is injected under the arm to block the chemical that stimulates the sweat glands. This significantly reduces sweating.
Prior to Botulinum Toxin A being administered, a Minor’s starch-iodine test will be performed.
This involves a starch-iodine solution being applied under the arm, causing a purple colour change to the affected areas as the starch-iodine combine with perspiration.
This allows me to establish the precise hyperhidrotic area in which to administer the Botulinum Toxin A to achieve the most effective result.
Please note – Prior to treatment, underarm area needs to be shaved and patients should abstain for applying anti-perspirants/deodorants 24 hours before treatment.
Treatment is usually recommended twice yearly.
