Botox For Hyperhidrosis
Botox for hyperhidrosis is an injectable treatment designed to reduce excessive sweating, providing relief and improving quality of life. Made from a purified protein derived from Clostridium botulinum, Botox temporarily blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate sweat glands. This non-surgical solution is effective in treating hyperhidrosis in various areas of the body, and results are noticeable 7-14 days post-treatment.

More about this treatment
Botox works by blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating the sweat glands. This prevents the glands from producing excessive sweat. The procedure involves a series of small injections using fine needles, targeting specific areas to achieve the desired effect. The treatment is minimally invasive and can be customised to meet individual needs.
What Results Are Typically Achieved
Botox treatments for hyperhidrosis offer significant reduction in sweating in the treated areas and take effect 7-14 days post-treatment. Patients can expect to see a noticeable decrease in sweat production, leading to improved comfort and quality of life. The results typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and the severity of the condition.

Thank you
Overall a disappointing experience, sterile and cold enough environment made bearable only by the maximalist decor. No serenity as portrayed in marketing features ie. Lack of music As a director within a private healthcare setting, very poor customer experience and not one I will be recommending to our own clientele.
I was advised if unhappy with results in 2 weeks to come back for a top up but work restrictions meant I did not attend for 4 weeks but was told that this was chargeable: disappointing again with lack of appreciation or flexibility for working professionals. No follow up provided or courtesy call as is often given at alternative aesthetic clinics.
Dr. Noy has been incredible from start to finish. It is a joy to go to this beautiful clinic, and care is second to none.
