Sweating is an essential and natural process in which the body attempts to keep us cool and prevent us from overheating in a warm environment. This is seen especially during exercise or on a sunny day. However, sweating has become a social stigma that can affect a person’s confidence and self-esteem.

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term given to excessive sweating. There are no guidelines as to what “normal” sweating is. Every person is different and therefore perspire differently.

At Younique Aesthetics we offer anti-wrinkle injections to treat hyperhidrosis. As this condition usually occurs under arms, we can inject botulinum toxin into the area to prevent excessive sweating. This works by blocking the nerve signals responsible for sweating, stopping the sweat glands from producing too much sweat.

Treatment is typically needed again after 4-6 months when the nerves regenerate, however patients can go longer between treatments over time.

Procredure time is 30 minutes and requires a local anaesthetic.

Results usually last upto 6 months.

It's a safe and effective treatment with little or no downtime.

Not suitable if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
