Excessive Sweating

The Basics

Excessive sweating, or Hyperhidrosis, is a condition characterised by sweating beyond the bodies physiological need regulating body temperature. In patients with overactive sweat glands, botulinum toxin injections can be used to alleviate this stubborn disorder.

The Procedure

A series of tiny injections are made in the targeted area that block the release of a chemical that signals the perspiration. The injections takes up to 40 minutes and is a walk in-walk out procedure. The procedure is considered very safe.

Post Treatment

There is little to no downtime with this procedure. You can bathe, shower, drive or go back to work immediately afterward. For more information, read here.

The Results

Patients generally notice the benefits of this treatment option after just 1 week. Effects last, on average, 8 months.

Top Excessive Sweating Questions

What is Excessive Sweating / Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis, or Excessive Sweating, is considered sweating beyond the bodies physiological need for regulating body temperature. It is generally an inherited condition and commonly affects the hands, feet, armpits and face. It is a condition that affects millions of people around the world; and although high temperatures or stress can increase perspiration, they don’t cause hyperhidrosis.

It is also important to note that excessive sweating may also be a warning sign of other conditions such as diabetes, thyroid problems, infections or even menopause.

Until now, excessive sweating has been difficult to control.

At Cosmos Clinic, we offer a non-surgical treatment for hyperhidrosis that delivers long-lasting improvements. It is ultimately a non-invasive procedure that mimics the results of an Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy, which is quite invasive.

The Procedure. What does it involve?

With this hyperhidrosis treatment, a series of tiny injections are made in the targeted area. The injected substance enters the specific glands in the underarms responsible for excessive sweating.

Once there, it blocks the release of a chemical that signals the perspiration. The injections takes up to 40 minutes and is a walk in-walk out procedure.

Anti Sweating Injections CANNOT be used to treat generalised sweating i.e. sweating over the whole body (e.g. back, legs) or on very large areas.

Will I experience any pain?

Patients treated with Anti Sweating Injections notice a remarkable improvement in their symptoms long-term. In clinical studies, 95% of patients with severe cases of hyperhidrosis  experienced the benefits of the treatment after 1 week, with sweating reducing by an average of 83%.

For nearly 40% of patients, Anti Sweating Injections reduce sweating for more than one year. The amount of time Anti Sweating Injections remain effective may vary. When your symptoms return, it would be time for another Anti Sweating Injection treatment.
