Excessive sweating treatment
Excessive sweating can affect comfort and daily activities even when you are not hot or exercising. A medical assessment helps identify the cause and whether a localized treatment is appropriate.
Is it right for me?
Persistent localized sweating can be assessed. New generalized sweating, night sweats or other symptoms may require evaluation for an underlying cause first.
Treatment is unsuitable with an infection at the injection site or allergy to the proposed product. Neuromuscular illness, swallowing or breathing problems and medicines that affect muscle function need specific review. Pregnancy and breastfeeding require discussion because safety data are limited; elective treatment may be deferred.
Evidence and realistic expectations.
Botulinum toxin has clinical evidence for reducing selected localized sweating by temporarily blocking nerve signals to sweat glands. Approved body areas and products differ; evidence for underarm sweating does not validate every proposed use.
This is a medical condition as well as a quality-of-life concern. New widespread sweating, night sweats or feeling unwell need assessment of the cause. Local injections cannot treat every underlying illness.
Risks to understand.
Bruising, headache, asymmetry and unwanted muscle weakness can occur. Depending on the area, this can affect the eyelids, smile, chewing or neck. Rare spread of toxin effect can cause serious weakness. Trouble speaking, swallowing or breathing after treatment needs immediate medical attention.
What to expect.
Consultation
Discuss your concern, medical history, previous treatments and what you would like to preserve. Dr. Roy will explain suitable options, alternatives, risks and fees before you decide.
Treatment
The consultation reviews the pattern, medicines and previous treatment. Options may include antiperspirants and other medical care; botulinum toxin injections can be considered for appropriate localized sweating.
Recovery
Allow for temporary injection marks or bruising. Dr. Roy will explain activity and aftercare advice for the areas treated; do not plan around a promise of zero downtime.
Results and review
The response to an injection treatment develops over days and is temporary. The area and individual response determine review and maintenance.
Number of visits
Start with assessment rather than assuming an injection course. The proposed area and treatment schedule are confirmed directly.

How much recovery time should I allow?
