Excessive Sweating
We provide a safe and effective solution for excessive sweating treatments using Botulinum Toxin. This treatment works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands, significantly reducing perspiration in the treated area.
Botulinum Toxin is an FDA-approved treatment for hyperhidrosis and is commonly used on areas such as the underarms, hands and feet. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort, and results typically last between 4-6 months, providing long-lasting dryness and confidence.
This treatment is ideal for those who struggle with excessive sweating that interferes with daily life, helping you feel fresher and more comfortable throughout the day.
We use top-quality, leading brands backed by years of clinical research to ensure patient safety and outstanding results remain our top priority. For our Hyperhidrosis & Excessive Sweating treatments we are experts in the use of Azzalure.
At Skin Within Aesthetics our aim is to provide our patients with expert knowledge and guidance regarding their skin concerns, so they feel 100% confident when making their choices.
In your consultation we will talk you through a full and thorough discussion of your concerns, needs and expected results allowing us to create a bespoke treatment plan for you. A detailed medical history will be completed, and every aspect of your treatment will be discussed ensuring complete confidence in your chosen treatments.
