Botulinum Toxin
Today, many aesthetic clinics offer botulinum toxin injections for axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating), alongside treatment for wrinkles. Treatment is carried out within the NHS and in aesthetic and medically led clinics and has the benefits of rapid results with very few side effects, apart from some bleeding and bruising at injection sites.
In terms of efficacy, data suggests that a sweat reduction of 50% or more is observed in 80% of patients. However, studies have found that it is only effective for an average of seven months, after which the procedure must be repeated. This makes it an expensive option for the patient over the course of a lifetime.
