Hyperhydrosis affects about 1 in 3 people. Excessive production of sweat can cause damp patches on clothes and can be an embarrassing problem causing apprehension/anxiety in both social and work settings.
Botulinum toxin A , the same medicine used for wrinkles, is FDA-approved for treating excessive sweating of the underarms and in some cases it can also be used on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
At Skin Cliniq in Smile Cliniq, London’s Multi award winning dental practice, we offer safe, gentle and expert placement of injections under the armpits. The results are long lasting and your confidence should grow as you do not need to worry about this problem again.
