START WITH YOUR CONCERN
Excessive sweating
Sweating that regularly disrupts work, clothing or daily comfort may be hyperhidrosis. A medical assessment helps distinguish a localized problem from sweating caused by another illness or medicine.

Understanding the concern.
The location, timing and onset help distinguish a longstanding localized problem from sweating linked to another cause. New generalized symptoms should not be treated as a cosmetic issue by default.
Where care starts.
Treatment can start with appropriate antiperspirants and a review of triggers or medicines. Other medical options depend on the area. Toxin injections are one choice for suitable localized sweating, not the only route to care.
What the evidence means.
Botulinum toxin can temporarily reduce sweat production in a treated area. It acts on nerve signals to sweat glands and does not treat every cause of sweating. New night sweats or widespread symptoms need assessment first.
Options to discuss.
Excessive sweating treatment
Assessment, localized treatment options and practical questions.
Your questions.
Is excessive sweating always a cosmetic problem?
No. Medicines and medical conditions can contribute, so the pattern and history should be reviewed first.
Can botulinum toxin help selected sweating areas?
It may be discussed for suitable localized cases after considering alternatives. The exact area and product are confirmed during consultation.
Will a localized treatment stop sweating everywhere?
No. It acts in the treated area and does not address every cause of sweating.
Is the effect permanent?
No. If an injection treatment is suitable and helpful, the need for another session is assessed as the effect wears off.
What if I have new night sweats or feel unwell?
Seek medical assessment for the underlying symptoms before arranging a cosmetic procedure.
How do I prepare for a consultation?
Note the areas affected, when sweating occurs, medicines and the treatments you have already tried. You can discuss these directly with the clinician.
Suitability depends on a personal assessment. Meet Dr. Roy Dagher or call +961 76 612 621 to discuss an appointment.
