Which areas can be treated?
Armpits, hands, feet and face. Botox® aims to reduce sweating by up to 80%.

Find it affects confidence and social contact
-
Have stained clothing and uncontrollable odour

The treatment is administered by injecting Botox® into the affected areas. It takes about 30 minutes to complete. Local anaesthetic creams are provided.

The treatment can last 3 to 9 months.

Dr Sawyer is an astounding surgeon. He is supportive and reassuring both before and post operation, putting your needs and requests forefront. He performed a flawless septorhinoplasty on my nose, simultaneously fixing the airways, shape and size of my nose caused initially by a cleft lip and pallet. I would recommend Dr Sawyer to anyone as he is understanding with a warm and reassuring approach, explaining the procedure in great detail. The procedure ran smoothly and efficiently with a perfect quality of care throughout and the results are outstanding. This surgery has both filled me with confidence and has allowed me to live my best life.
