At our CQC registered St. Albans skin clinic we use an injectable treatment called BOTOXÒ to treat your excessive sweating; this treatment works by utilising a naturally found protein, Botulinum Toxin, in a safe and effective way to inhibit the chemical messages that cause sweating in the treated area.
From the feedback we’ve received, hyperhidrosis treatment is often seen as a life changing, allowing you some, if not complete, reprieve from this often embarrassing and anxiety-inducing concern for up to six months.
