Hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating shouldn’t control your life. Hyperhidrosis causes embarrassing wetness that no amount of deodorant can manage, affecting your clothes, confidence, and daily activities. At Dr N Clinics, Dr Nugwa offers effective botulinum toxin treatment to stop excessive underarm sweating. This quick, minimally invasive procedure provides lasting relief, allowing you to wear what you want and feel confident in social and professional situations. You deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin without constant worry about sweat marks.
What is Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition causing excessive sweating beyond what your body needs for temperature regulation. People with hyperhidrosis sweat profusely, particularly under the arms, even during normal daily activities. No matter how much deodorant or antiperspirant you use, your clothes become wet and stained. This constant dampness creates embarrassment and affects clothing choices, social interactions, and professional confidence. The condition results from overactive sweat glands triggered by tiny muscles in the skin. Botulinum toxin treatment works by relaxing these muscles, preventing them from activating the sweat glands. Multiple small injections across the underarm area block the signals that cause excessive sweating. The result is normal, comfortable dryness lasting several months.

How long does the treatment last?
Hyperhidrosis treatment typically lasts four months or longer. Most clients experience significant reduction in sweating within days to two weeks after treatment. The underarm area remains comfortably dry throughout this period.
As the botulinum toxin effect gradually wears off, sweating slowly returns. Most people choose to refresh treatment every four to six months to maintain their relief. Some find the effect lasts even longer, particularly with repeated treatments. The procedure provides consistent results, giving you reliable control over excessive sweating. Regular maintenance treatments keep you comfortable and confident year-round.

Frequently asked questions
If you would like to discuss any concerns with your provider or have any other questions regarding your medical history, please get in touch.
Does the treatment hurt?
The injections cause minimal discomfort. You’ll feel multiple small pinpricks as treatment covers the underarm area, but most clients find it very tolerable without anaesthetic.
How many injections will I need?
Multiple small injections are required to cover the entire underarm area effectively. The exact number varies based on treatment area size, but typically ranges from 10 to 15 injections per underarm.
Will I stop sweating completely?
Underarm sweating reduces dramatically or stops entirely in the treated area. You’ll still sweat normally from other body areas, which is important for temperature regulation.
Can I use deodorant after treatment?
Yes, but wait 24 hours after treatment. Once that period passes, you can use deodorant normally, though you’ll likely need far less than before.
What if I sweat excessively elsewhere too?
This treatment specifically addresses underarm hyperhidrosis. If you have excessive sweating in other areas like hands or feet, discuss this with Dr Nugwa to explore appropriate options.
How quickly will I see results?
Most people notice significant improvement within a few days to two weeks. The full effect develops over this period as the botulinum toxin takes complete effect.
