Excessive Sweating

Sheridan France offers effective treatment excessive underarm sweating from her London clinics.

Excessive sweating (also known as hyperhidrosis) is a common condition where the body produces excessive amounts of perspiration. Affected areas – usually armpits, chest, hands and feet – are left constantly damp. This leads to embarrassment both at work and socially, and normal everyday activities sometimes become difficult to perform.

Botox for Hyperhidrosis

However, there is no need to suffer in silence any longer. From her Harley Street and Belsize Park London clinics, hyperhidrosis specialist Sheridan France offers a simple and quick way to stop excessive underarm sweating which will totally transform your life. Botox® is approved in the UK for the treatment of several medical conditions, including hyperhidrosis.

The use of underarm Botox for hyperhidrosis involves a series of tiny injections into the affected area. These work by blocking the nerves to the sweat glands, thus keeping the skin drier and fresher. Excessive sweating will be stopped for about six months afterthe first treatment, with repeat treatments giving longer-lasting results over time. Normal activities can be resumed the next day.

Sheridan France also offers Botox® injections as an anti-wrinkle treatment.
