Underarm sweating, often known as Severe Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis, can become a source of discomfort during daily activities and social engagements when it goes into overdrive. Excessive sweating arises from the body struggling to effectively regulate temperature, a condition that transcends the normal perspiration experienced during physical exertion or in warm climates. Botulinum toxin injections offer an effective solution for managing this condition. By temporarily blocking the chemical signals from nerves that prompt sweat gland activity, these injections minimise excessive underarm sweating, providing a notable improvement in comfort. While you may continue to perspire in other areas, the targeted reduction in underarm sweating can be transformative. Typically, the results of this treatment last between 6 and 9 months, offering a long-lasting reprieve from the challenges associated with hyperhidrosis. This is a popular treatment in both our March, Cambridgeshire clinic and our Tynemouth, Newcastle clinic.
