Treat Excessive Sweating at Manchester Cosmetic Centre

What could cause excessive sweating and why does it happen?

Sweating is a very normal body function that regulates body temperature. Effectively, the body controls the internal temperature by producing sweating if the temperature goes up. The reason why some people do produce excessive sweeting more than needed, is because there are sometimes some medical pathologies such as hormonal disorder (such as menopause) or even reaction to some drugs (medication).

In some people, However, the excessive sweating is not associated to any medical condition. In that case the sweating is usually attributed to an overactivity of nerves that regulate sweating. This excessive sweating can be often embarrassing for many patients making them feel self-conscious all the time. This condition is called hyperhidrosis and usually seen in the underarms, hands, and feet. The ideal treatment to reduce or stop hyperhidrosis is BOTOX. Temporarily, BOTOX can effectively stop the nerve signals from activating the glands that produce sweat. At the Manchester Cosmetic Centre with Dr. Abel Mounir, we offer our patients in Manchester hyperhidrosis treatment, to help improve their confidence. It is relatively an easy and quick treatment.

How Does Hyperhidrosis Treatment Work?

At start, a local anesthetic will be applied to make your treatment as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

After the local anesthetic is applied, Manchester Plastic surgeon Dr. Mounir will start by performing multiple injections with a tiny needle in the affected area and the treatment’s effect should usually last 3-6 months. The procedure takes about 1 hour and performed in the clinic. The injected areas may stay swollen for about 5 to 7 days after the treatment. Please be aware that hyperhidrosis treatment of the hands and feet are sometimes more painful and there is a possibility of weakening the muscles temporarily.

Am I A Good Candidate For Hyperhidrosis Treatment?

If you have tried different options below and did not help, then you may be a good candidate for Botox® treatment.

You should have tried:

Using an antiperspirant instead of a deodorant.
Tried to wear clothes made from cotton and linen to allow your skin transpiration.
Wear dark colored clothing to disguise sweat patches, and even the special sweat resistant underarm pads
Reduced stress situations stress if possible.
If all these measures do not help, then you should go and see a specialist dermatologist for advice on further treatment. It is important that you make sure that any potential medical reason for your excessive sweating has already been excluded.

There are also some anticholinergic (Alpha blockers) drugs can be used to treat excessive sweating. Although, these are not licensed for excessive sweating but help stopping the stimulation of the nerve endings that regulate sweat glands. Our Manchester hyperhidrosis treatment using BOTOX can help:

What If BOTOX Doesn't Work For Me?

There are surgical and non-surgical options to treat the excessive sweating. The non-surgical option involves using a device that generates electromagnetic energy to destroy permanently the sweat glands. The surgical option is called sympathectomy involves cutting the nerves that supply the sweat glands.

For patients who would rather have long-lasting results, there is also the TX laser treatment that might be an option. Usually there is a laser fiber that is inserted under the skin into the treatment area, delivering high laser energy just under the surface of skin into the sweat gland. The heat from the laser energy damages the underarm sweat glands located in the deeper tissue layers, and this will lead to reduction of the sweat.
