What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Excessive sweating, that is hyperhidrosis, occurs when the body does not need to cool. Hyperhidrosis is a long-term condition and can be brought on by a variety of reasons. It is not a rare condition that can affect your entire body – especially areas such as your armpits, hands, feet, chest, groin and face.
BOTOX FOR HYPERHIDROSIS
Botox® is made up botulinum toxin A, which is used to temporarily prevent muscles and nerves from moving.
​
At Euphoria Medical Center©, we use Botox® to successfully address hyperhidrosis by offering only the most effective, reliable, tried and proven treatments to our patients. For hyperhidrosis, our expert practitioners inject Botox® into the area of concern, such as under the arms. In the doses which are administered, the nerves that supply the glands are prevented from producing sweat.
The Botox For Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Before the procedure you may wish for the area to be numbed beforehand. You may be advised on topical anaesthesia or ice to reduce the discomfort.
​
During your procedure, your doctor will start by discussing the details and the steps they will take, prior to commencing. Following this, the areas will be marked up and Botox injections will be administered using fine needles. The injected Botox prevents the nerve endings from sending messages to the sweat glands, and this temporarily reduces the sweating for a period of 3-6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does it hurt?While everyone experiences different levels of pain, you may feel some discomfort and needle stick pain.
-
Are there any side effects?There may be some swelling or bruising for a few days. The results commonly improve over time, as the swelling subsides, and the filler settles more naturally – this process often takes up to 2 weeks.
-
Am I suitable for Fillers treatment?This treatment is not suitable for anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding or has severe allergic reactions
-
Fillers Aftercare?The following may assist with recovery and results: Following the instructions provided by our specialists before and after your treatment Stay upright following your treatment for 3-4 hours Avoid sleeping for 3-4 hours after the treatment (to avoid pressing the treated area) Take arnica supplements and apply arnica cream Avoid strenuous exercise following the treatment Limit your sun exposure Apply a cold compress to the treated area Avoid facial treatments or other treatments on the area Should you experience any symptoms, notify us so we can best assist you. To maintain the effect of your treatment, you will require further follow ups.
-
When will I see results?Most patients will notice immediate results following their filler treatment. However, note that it can take 7-10 days to notice the final results, which is when any potential bruising, swelling or redness subsides.
-
How long do the results last?This will depend on your own metabolism. Some people will break down the fillers more quickly than others. A general rule of thumb is that fillers typically last longer in the areas that move the least – such as cheeks, in comparison to lips, which may last a little less time. To maintain the effectiveness of your Fillers treatment, you will require further follow-ups, but you can expect your cheek fillers to last for 6 months and more.
-
What are the benefits of Fillers?Quick – most treatments take approximately 30 minutes to perform. Faster and more effective than creams – the treatment results are much faster than those achieved when using skincare. Long-lasting results – whilst long-lasting, most fillers are not permanent and are reversible.
