How do I know if my sweating is excessive?

If your underarms sweat even when you are not hot, exercising, or feeling particularly anxious, you may be experiencing hyperhidrosis. You might notice frequent sweat patches, the need to change clothes often, or a constant awareness of moisture. If sweating begins to influence how you dress, behave socially, or feel about yourself, it is worth exploring treatment.

How long do the results last?

Results typically begin to develop within a few days and continue to improve over one to two weeks. The effects usually last four to six months, although this can vary depending on your body and lifestyle. With consistent treatments, many patients find that results become more predictable over time.

Will I sweat more in other areas?

No, the treatment works in the underarms and does not cause your body to compensate by sweating more elsewhere. Your overall ability to regulate temperature remains unchanged, as other sweat glands continue to function normally.

Can I return to normal activities after treatment?

Yes, you can return to most of your daily activities immediately after your appointment. You may be advised to avoid intense exercise, saunas, or excessive heat for the rest of the day, but there is no significant downtime.

Is this a long-term solution?

The effect of botulinum toxin is not permanent, but treatment can be repeated. With regular maintenance, many patients maintain ongoing control over underarm sweating. Duration varies from person to person.

Is the treatment painful?

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pinpricks that are very well-tolerated.

What is Excessive Sweating?

Stay fresh and dry throughout the day

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a condition where your sweat glands become overactive, producing more perspiration than your body needs for temperature regulation. It commonly affects the underarms, even in cool environments or without physical exertion, due to overstimulation of the sympathetic nervous system and chemical messengers like acetylcholine. This can impact your confidence, clothing choices, and daily comfort. Dr Garara tailors your treatment to reduce visible sweating while maintaining a natural physiological response.

Your excessive sweating treatment with Dr Garara

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, during which Dr Garara explores how underarm sweating affects your daily life, from clothing choices to confidence in social and professional settings. He assesses the pattern and severity of sweating, identifies triggers, and understands your goals. Based on this, he curates a precise treatment plan to achieve a visibly drier, more controlled underarm area while maintaining natural, balanced results.

Hyperhidrosis treatment involves targeted botulinum toxin (Botox) injections placed just beneath the skin of the underarms. Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine; it blocks the release of acetylcholine, the chemical messenger that activates your sweat glands. When these signals are reduced, the sweat glands produce less sweat. This effect remains localised to the treated area, helping you stay dry without affecting your body's ability to regulate temperature.
