Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is a common condition that can significantly affect comfort, confidence, and daily life. If you’re searching for hyperhidrosis treatment in Cambridge, BOTOX® offers a safe, non-surgical solution for long-lasting relief when antiperspirants are no longer effective.
At Aésthira, Cambridge, we provide targeted BOTOX® treatment for underarm (axillary) hyperhidrosis, helping patients regain control, stay comfortable, and feel more confident in everyday situations.
What is Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)?
Hyperhidrosis is characterised by sweating beyond what is necessary for normal temperature regulation. It can impact clothing choices, social situations, and overall confidence.
It typically presents in two forms:
Primary hyperhidrosis
Localised sweating (commonly underarms, palms, or soles) with no identifiable medical causeSecondary hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating linked to underlying medical conditions, medications, or systemic factors
Do You Need Medical Clearance for Hyperhidrosis Treatment?
Hyperhidrosis is not always a standalone condition. In some cases, it may be a symptom of an underlying issue such as endocrine disorders (e.g. hyperthyroidism), illness, or medication side effects.
For your safety:
A prior assessment with your General Practitioner is required
Medical clearance must be provided before treatment
BOTOX® is only administered once underlying causes have been appropriately excluded
This ensures your treatment is both safe and appropriate.
How Botox Treats Hyperhidrosis
BOTOX® (botulinum toxin) works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands. When injected into the targeted area, it reduces sweat production locally without affecting your body’s overall ability to regulate temperature.
BOTOX® is a clinically proven treatment for hyperhidrosis and is widely used worldwide to manage excessive sweating.
