A simple, effective treatment for excessive sweating
Treatment Summary
Sweatox is the name often given to anti-wrinkle injections used to treat excessive sweating. The treatment works by calming the signals between the nerves and the sweat glands in the treated area.
When these signals are reduced, the glands produce far less sweat. The rest of your body continues to sweat normally, so your natural temperature control is not affected.
In people with excessive sweating, the body sends strong signals to the sweat glands, even when sweating is not needed.
Sweatox works by:
• Gently blocking the signals that tell the glands to produce sweat
• Reducing sweating only in the treated area
• Allowing the rest of the body to function as normal
Results usually begin within a few days, with full improvement seen at around two weeks.
Patients choose sweatox in London because it:
• Significantly reduces sweating
• Improves confidence in work and social settings
• Reduces clothing marks and odour concerns
• Requires no surgery
• Has minimal downtime
For many patients, it provides long-lasting relief when strong antiperspirants have not worked.
Your appointment will begin with a consultation to understand your concerns and confirm suitability.
The treatment involves a series of very small injections just beneath the skin in the affected area. The procedure usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes.
Most patients describe the discomfort as mild. For more sensitive areas, numbing options can be discussed.
There is very little downtime after sweatox treatment.
You may notice:
• Mild redness
• Slight swelling
• Small temporary bumps at the injection points
These effects usually settle within hours or a few days.
Results typically last between 4 and 9 months. Many patients choose to repeat treatment once or twice a year to maintain control.
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can affect confidence, clothing choices and everyday comfort. It is more than just sweating after exercise or in warm weather. Many people with this condition sweat even when they are cool or at rest.
Sweatox is a safe, non-surgical treatment designed to reduce excessive sweating in specific areas of the body. At Dr Joney De Souza’s London clinic, sweatox is carried out using the same prescription medicine commonly used for anti-wrinkle treatments, carefully placed to reduce overactive sweating.
You may be suitable if:
• You experience regular excessive sweating
• Strong antiperspirants have not helped
• Sweating affects your confidence or daily life
• You want a non-surgical solution
A consultation at Dr Joney De Souza’s London clinic will determine whether sweatox is right for you.
Sweatox is a treatment that uses anti-wrinkle injections to reduce excessive sweating. It works by calming the signals that trigger sweat production in specific areas such as the underarms, hands or feet.
Results typically last between 4 and 9 months. Many patients choose to repeat treatment once or twice a year to maintain control over excessive sweating.
Most patients begin to notice a reduction in sweating within a few days. Full results are usually seen around 10 to 14 days after treatment.
Discomfort is usually mild. The treatment involves a series of very small injections just beneath the skin. Numbing options can be discussed for more sensitive areas such as the hands or feet.
Sweatox is most commonly used to treat underarm sweating, but it can also be used for the palms, soles of the feet and forehead.
There is minimal downtime. Some mild redness, swelling or small bumps at the injection sites may occur, but these usually settle within a few hours or days.
When carried out by an experienced medical professional, sweatox is considered safe and well tolerated. Side effects are usually mild and temporary.
Sweatox significantly reduces sweating in the treated area, but it does not stop your body from sweating naturally elsewhere. Your overall temperature regulation remains normal.
You may be suitable if you experience excessive sweating that affects your confidence or daily life, particularly if strong antiperspirants have not worked.
