Free Yourself From Excess Sweating in Cardiff

Though sweating itself is healthy and normal, cooling down the skin and ridding it of toxins, some people experience excessive sweating, even when sitting still. Excess sweating can be an embarrassing condition, affecting the appearance and generating a sour odour, which in turn can undermine self-confidence. At Dr Kathryn Aesthetics & Skincare, in Cardiff, we treat hyperhidrosis with injections of Botox, reducing levels of underarm sweating to that of the average person.

“Kathryn is so professional and I feel completely confident in her hands. Highly recommended!”

FAQs

Questions about your treatment

  • Botox injections are far more versatile than is often understood. Though most commonly used to block the signals which tell your muscles to contract, it can also be used to block the signals which tell your body to start sweating. Carefully placed anti-wrinkle injections in the armpits significantly reduces levels of underarm sweating.

  • People who suffer from hyperhidrosis sweat far more than is necessary, and the purpose of reducing the amount of sweat in a specific area is to rebalance rather than unbalance that function of the body. In addition, Botox injections work in localised areas, so sweating is reduced where the injections are placed and nowhere else. The overall impact on bodily sweat is minimal, with no negative impact on health, but the treatment itself will enable the effective reduction of sweat where it’s needed most.

  • Though there might be a small degree of discomfort, the needles used for Botox injections are extremely fine. If you are concerned about discomfort, a topical numbing cream can be applied prior to treatment.

  • The treatment area might feel sore for the first 12 hours, and on occasion some clients describe a feeling of weariness or heaviness in the arms, but this tends to resolve within 2-3 days.

  • The results of this treatment usually last 9-12 months, though this varies from person to person. Having hyperhidrosis treatment once a year can turn a temporary relief from excess sweating into a lasting change.
