Hyperhidrosis – Over sweating

It’s an average day – not too hot, not too cold. You’ve got a major interview and spent the morning getting ready. You look great and feel great too. Arriving with plenty of time, you run through potential questions in your head. You’re ready. The interviewer calls you in, invites you to sit and take off your coat…

… and there’s no way you’re hiding the sweat. How has this happened? You’re wearing heavy-duty antiperspirant, and it’s not even warm. This was the wrong day to wear black.

If you find yourself producing a biblical amount of sweat, even when you aren’t overheated or overworked, you may suffer from a condition known as hyperhidrosis. Sweating is natural, but over sweating – especially at the wrong time – can be embarrassing at best. Thankfully, there’s a perfect treatment for drying those clammy hands and damp patches. It’s called Botox.

No, really.

How can Botox help?

In a word – tremendously. Whilst you may associate Botox with the anti-ageing, wrinkle-reducing treatments that most use it for, it can also have genuine medical benefits. The treatment works through targeted injections into specific muscles, preventing them from contracting and creating a smoother, slimmer complexion as they relax. But Botox also has a useful effect on the nerves responsible for sweating: paralysing them and preventing overproduction.

Secret Aesthetics offer hyperhidrosis treatment on several parts of the body: underarms, hands, feet, head and face. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, highly effective, and can last up to a year.

Is it risky?

Not at all. In the hands of a trained professional like our doctors, hyperhidrosis treatment is incredibly safe. Botox sometimes gets bad press (which we’ve aimed to counter here), but the procedure is considered very low-risk, provided a qualified practitioner administers it.

With all our procedures, Secret Aesthetics hold a consultation with every client before the treatment begins. This ensures that they know what the treatment entails, the clinician is aware of their goals with the procedure, and any possible complications can be flagged. The non-surgical solutions we offer present very few risks and provided clients are upfront with their medical background, there should be nothing to worry about.

So don’t sweat it – the over sweating could be over! If this sounds like the solution for you, read more about our hyperhidrosis treatment or book a session.
