Hello Interloper!

The actual process of receiving Botox injections for hyperhidrosis is straightforward and usually completed within 30 minutes, making it a convenient option even for those with busy schedules. The procedure begins with cleaning the targeted area, followed by applying a numbing agent to minimise discomfort.
The practitioner will administer multiple small injections directly into the underarm skin or other affected areas. These injections are spaced out over the area marked during the preparatory starch iodine test to ensure coverage. Although the thought of needles may be daunting, the injections are typically described as quick pricks or minor discomfort, with immediate return to most everyday activities.
After the procedure, patients are advised on specific aftercare instructions to maximise the treatment’s effectiveness and reduce any potential side effects. These might include avoiding strenuous exercise or extreme heat for several days.
