Botox Injections To Stop Excess Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Warm weather is great for some people, but there are many others who dread it. We all sweat, it's a perfectly normal, healthy way to regulate the body temperature in hot weather and during times of exercise. When we get hot we'll sweat, and when the sweat evaporates, it cools us down. 

Sweating is a normal response to nervousness and anxiety, because our emotions can affect the sweat glands. Excessive sweating can cause us embarrassment and affect our self-confidence, and then worrying about it causes anxiety which in turn can make the sweating worse, bringing misery to those who suffer from it. 


There are a few things that you can do to keep your sweating to a minimum. You can use antiperspirants labelled as clinical strength. These usually have aluminium chloride as an active ingredient. You can also introduce more calcium into your diet, as calcium can slow down the sweating which will help to regulate body temperature and reduce perspiration.

A few factors about why you sweat:
  • Gender - Women have more sweat glands than men, although they produce less sweat from each gland. Men sweat the most, especially during rigorous exercising.
  • Body Mass - The higher a person's body mass index (BMI), the more they sweat, and as men are usually heavier and have more muscle mass than women, they tend to produce more heat than women do while exercising. 
  • Alcohol - Too much alcohol consumption will raise the body temperature, causing you to sweat more. Alcohol will increase your heart rate and dilate the blood vessels, making your skin look flushed.
  • Spicy Foods - When eating spicy foods the body temperature will go up, and your body will produce sweat to help cool itself down.
  • Constant sweating - Those who experience excessive sweating are suffering from a condition known as Hyperhidrosis, which is a condition that causes people to perspire much more than is necessary to regulate their body temperature.
  • Hot Weather - On warm days the body temperature will rise, making the heart rate and blood flow increase, trying to cool itself down. 

An excellent solution to excess sweating is botox treatment. Injections of botox to the places on the body affected by hyperhidrosis will help to reduce sweating in these areas by blocking the signals from the brain to the sweat glands. 

Botox injections for hyperhidrosis is an excellent treatment with outstanding results to stop excessive sweating. For those people who sweat a lot, we know how much inconvenience and embarrassing it can bring, making botox injections an ideal solution.

Botox Treatment for Excessive Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We put our armpits through a lot in our quest for perfection, spending hours making sure that the underarms, legs and bikini line are hair-free zones. We subject them to shaving and waxing rashes or we put them through laser treatment to rid our body of unwanted hair, but if having hairy armpits isn't bad enough, there is an armpit condition that can cause us a lot more embarrassment and that's extreme sweating.

Excessive sweating can cause lots of inconveniences:
  • Limiting the types of fabrics we can comfortably wear
  • Washing and dry-cleaning bills will probably soar
  • Causing embarrassment and frustration when we're in public and with groups of friends
  • When meeting new people, our main worry is that we won't make a good first impression if we're damp with sweat
  • The chances are, that we'll have to change our clothing more often.


Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a condition that can affect both women and men and it's caused by hyperactive sweat glands. Excessive sweating happens in areas of the body where there's a high concentration of sweat glands, such as the hands, feet, armpits and groin area, and it's a condition that can cause extreme embarrassment and seriously affect our self-confidence. When severe sweating interferes with our daily activities, especially when the excessive sweating is from the armpits it can cause great emotional and psychological upset.

Most people try self-treatment first; there's a range of antiperspirants you can buy, and talcum powder which can help to absorb the sweat. You can also do things like drink plenty of water, lessen your caffeine intake and cut out sugary, spicy and processed foods from your diet. It helps to wear loose-fitting clothes with natural fibres, like cotton and avoiding wearing synthetic fabrics, like nylon and polyester. If these have not helped then botox hyperhidrosis treatment is an excellent alternative, giving outstanding results to stop extreme sweating.


At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, we can effectively treat excessive sweating with botox injections, offering the latest, safe treatment for this condition. The treatment is quick, effective and minimally painless. After making the area numb beforehand to minimise any discomfort, we inject very small quantities of botox into the armpit area using very fine needles.

Botox treatment usually takes about twenty to thirty minutes and you can return to work immediately after the procedure. In most cases the treatment takes effect within a matter of days and can last up to nine to twelve months. The botox treatment can safely be repeated as often as necessary.

Botox Injections to Stop Excess Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sweating, perspiring, glowing - call it what you will, it's a completely healthy way to maintain our body temperature, because when we're hot, we sweat, and when the moisture evaporates, it cools us off. Sweating is a necessary function which controls our body temperature when we exercise and when we are in warm or hot surroundings. People also sweat when they're nervous as emotions can affect the sweat glands.

Excess sweating, also known as Hyperhidrosis is a condition which affects both men and women equally. It can occur on many areas of the body, causing embarrassment and low self-esteem and it can affect the way we live our lives.

  • Some of the reasons we sweat are:
  • Heat and humidity - hot or humid weather makes us sweat, and when the sweat evaporates, it cools us down.
  • Exercise - when we exercise our body temperature rises, and sweating gets rid of the extra heat.
  • Illness - fever is your body's way of fighting off an infection.
  • Spicy food - spicy food contains capsaicin, which is the compound that gives heat to spicy food.
  • Menopause - the drop in oestrogen affects your body's internal temperature gauge.
Any sweating from under the arms can cause embarrassment, but the real problem begins when normal everyday sweating becomes excessive sweating, which means that you produce far more sweat than your body needs you to. The body's cooling mechanism becomes overactive, producing four or five times the amount of sweat that's needed and when this happens it can really affect your confidence, self-esteem and limit your social life.

To help relieve this you can:
  • Take a bath or shower once or twice a day.
  • Wear clothes made of natural fibres, such as cotton or linen, especially in the warm months.
  • Use deodorants with antiperspirants, to help decrease sweating.
  • A change of clothing during the day can help your comfort.


Excessive sweating can now be easily and effectively treated with botox injections. The botox hyperhidrosis treatment involves injections of tiny amounts of botox, using a very fine needle in a grid like pattern over the affected area. Botox works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands, and when the glands no longer receive the chemical signals, the excessive underarm sweating stops.
  • Procedure time - 20 minutes
  • Downtime - minimal
  • Back to work - straight away
  • Duration of results - 9-12 months
  • Anaesthetic - none
Usually, most cases botox treatment takes effect within a matter of days and the results can last up to 9-12 months. The treatment can easily be repeated as often as it's needed.

The Many Uses of Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield


Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure for both women and men to help ease and erase fine lines and wrinkles. It's a simple injectable treatment which will give you a smoother complexion without the need for invasive surgery. If you have lines around your mouth, neck, or on the forehead, then Botox can help.

Botox is one of the least invasive procedures available and when it's injected by skilled and experienced hands, they are safe, effective and cause minimal discomfort. The injections prevent the muscles from contracting, blocking impulses to selected nerves, making the wrinkles relax and soften.


Botox has many amazing benefits, including easing migraines, reducing sweating under the arms and of course erasing those troublesome wrinkles that can make you look prematurely old.

The many uses of Botox

* Anti-Ageing - Wanting to look younger and more youthful is the most popular reason we have Botox injections. It's one of the best non-surgical options for preventing wrinkles as it slows down ageing on the face and helps to tighten and lift the skin. Using Botox as a non-surgical face lift can take years off the face when it's used appropriately and this option is great for people who want just a slight lift and not the dramatic change of invasive surgery.


* Migraine Killer - Botox was licensed specifically for treating Chronic Migraine, which works due to it's nerve-blocking effects. It relaxes the muscles and blocks the sensory nerves that send pain messages to the brain, making them less sensitive to the onslaught of pain. Statistics say that over 6 million people in the UK  have migraine headaches, so for those with especially debilitating migraine attacks, this is great news.

* Muscle Spasms and Disorders - Botox is an ideal solution for muscle spasms, particularly in the face, neck and eyelids. When it's injected into the muscles it reduces the spasms by stopping the transmission between the muscle fibres and the nerve endings.

* Overactive Bladder - An overactive bladder occurs when the bladder contracts more often than necessary, even when the bladder isn't full. Symptoms may include a strong need to pass water along with leaking or wetting accidents, the urgent need to urinate immediately and a frequent need to urinate. Botox helps to paralyse the muscle around the bladder, which in turn prevents contractions from happening so the urgency to pass water is greatly reduced.

* Excess Sweating - Also known as Hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating can affect many parts of the body, but armpits, hands, feet and the groin are the most typical regions of excess perspiration, due to the higher concentration of sweat glands. Treatment works by effectively turning off the body's sweat glands by blocking the secretion of chemical transmitters that stimulates the sweat glands, which essentially paralyses them. Botox is injected into tissues of the problem area and this may give six to eight months relief from sweating.

Using Botox to treat these medical conditions are prescribed and performed by registered doctors, and for cosmetic treatments care should always be taken to choose an experienced trained specialist in cosmetic procedures. We administer Botox with fine needles which makes the procedure quite painless, and though there might be slight swelling and redness afterwards, this resolves quickly.

Botox Injections For Excessive Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The UK is officially in the midst of a heat wave, and the usual summer disappointments of rained-off picnics, family BBQ's and music festivals have disappeared. Britain is the hottest place in Europe, with temperatures approaching a record of 38.5C, which would be great - if it didn't cause so much sweating!

We all get sweaty sometimes and although it's annoying, it's a natural way for the body to cool itself down when it becomes overheated. Some of us sweat a lot more than others and this can make the hot weather a bit of nightmare. However, if you have excessive sweating all the time, it might show that you have a medical condition. Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is a troublesome and embarrassing problem for those affected and botox injections are highly effective in reducing sweat production in treated areas.

Everyone sweats when it’s hot outside, because when the temperature rises, the body reacts by increasing the blood flow to the skin's surface, taking the heat from within the body to the surface, and this causes us to sweat. As the sweat evaporates, the body cools down, but those who have hyperhidrosis will experience excessive sweating, whether it's hot or not, where moisture might literally drip from the hand.


Excessive sweating on the face is embarrassing because it's so noticeable. A quick fix to stop facial sweating is to put cold water on a paper towel or flannel and dab the face and then wipe it dry. This should temporarily cool down the body temperature down to stop the facial sweating. The hot weather affects the skin's moisture, causing us to sweat which dries out the skin, and the increased use of air conditioning or fans indoors can also contribute to dried out and dull skin.

How to cope in hot weather:
  • When it's hot outside shut the windows and close the curtains. Open the windows when it's cooler for ventilation.
  • Stay out of the sun between 11am and 3pm as it's the hottest part of the day.
  • Take cool baths or showers, and splash yourself with cool water.
  • Keep hydrated by drinking cold drinks such as water and diluted fruit juice regularly.
  • Avoid excess alcohol, spicy foods, drinks high in sugar or drinks containing caffeine.
  • If you go outside. wear loose-fitting, cool clothing, and a hat. 
Hyperhidrosis can devastate those who have it, as it's not only embarrassing, it can dictate the way you live your life - everything from the clothes you wear, places you go, what you eat to the career you choose. Excessive sweating can now be effectively treated by botox injections. Botox treatment is an affordable, fast acting solution which will give you back your confidence and take away the embarrassment it often caused in social situations.

Botox Injections To Stop Excessive Armpit Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sweating, perspiring, glowing.....call it what you like, it’s a natural bodily function and one of life’s necessities that we all have to put up with. Sweating keeps us cool, but it also helps our body to battle against infection and balances our hormones when we get stressed. When normal everyday sweating becomes excessive, this means that your body sweats more than it needs to. Excessive sweating under the armpits can cause lots of embarrassment, it can limit our social activities, limit the clothes you can comfortably wear and massively affect our confidence and self-esteem.

There are many reasons why we sweat:
Hot weather - We sweat when we get hot or humid weather, and as the sweat evaporates, we cool down.
Illness - We perspire when we have a fever, this is our body's way of fighting off an infection.
Exercising - When we exercise our body temperature rises and to get rid of the extra heat, we sweat.
Menopause - Our body's internal temperature gauge rises when our oestrogen levels drop.
Spicy food - Capsaicin is the compound that gives the heat to spicy food and this makes us sweat.


Severe sweating that we can't control with an antiperspirants, is also known as hyperhidrosis. Worrying about the condition often makes it worse, as once we start thinking about sweating, it then causes us to worry, which can then actually make the sweating worse. Botox is usually used for treating facial wrinkles, but it's also used to treat excessive sweating.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we offer botox injection treatment for hyperhidrosis, performed by Dr Bassi who is fully trained in this particular procedure. He uses a very fine needle to inject small amounts of botox under the skin near the sweat glands, which are responsible for excess perspiration and it works by blocking transmission of the nerve impulses to the sweat glands, slowing down the amount you sweat.

Botox benefits for excessive underarm sweating:
  • The treatment offers immediate relief
  • Excessive sweating and the odour are completely eliminated
  • Repeat injections can easily keep up the results
  • Unlike with medication, there aren't any negative side effects
  • Injectable treatment, non-surgical and no downtime
  • More cost-effective than using oral tablets
In most cases the botox treatment for excessive sweating takes effect within a matter of days, and the results can last up to 9-12 months, with repeat treatments often lasting longer. You'll be able to resume normal activities after your treatment, but you should avoid strenuous activities for 24 hours. You might feel slightly bruised in the injection areas for 1-2 days after your treatment.

Erase Fine Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Botox injections have been safely used for some years now, and it's become one of the most popular anti-ageing treatments on the market, due to its safety and effectiveness. We must always remember that despite Botox's popularity and its increasing use, the treatment is still a medical procedure, and only a fully trained and highly experienced cosmetic doctor or nurse practitioner should carry out this treatment.
  • Always check out the practitioners qualifications.
  • Avoid gimmicks, such as: two for the price of one or introduce a friend and get a discount.
  • Always make sure the place you go to have treatment is clean. 
  • The cheapest priced treatment isn't always the best.
  • Check out their before and after photos and see what results they achieve.


Dr Bassi is highly trained in botox techniques and at your free consultation at Selston Cosmetic Clinic, he will discuss what requirements you have, and what your expectations are. Dr Bassi has performed thousands of botox treatments and our client base is increasing year upon year, mainly by word of mouth client recommendations.

We inject botox into specific muscles and this relaxes the muscles and prevents contraction. The repeated contractions of the muscles are what cause the skin to crease,making fine lines appear. We administer botox with fine needles, making the procedure quite painless. Afterwards you might get slight swelling and redness and with any procedure there's the risk of bruising, but this is minimal and can easily be covered by make up.

Botox, when done properly, should leave your face looking relaxed and refreshed, with no-one being able to tell you’ve had wrinkle reduction treatment. By choosing the right cosmetic doctor to achieve your aim, your appearance will look much improved, but still remain looking completely natural.


Botox can also  be used to:
  • Reduce over active frown / expression lines.
  • Reduce crows feet/ lines and wrinkles
  • Correcting lines from repeated facial expression and worry lines
  • Give you an eye lift
  • Correct eyebrows that look uneven
  • Tighten the jaw line
  • Correct the down-ward-turning corners around each side of the lips
  • Treat migraines
  • Treat hyperhidrosis (armpit sweating)
Continuity is always a good idea, so if you are having botox, fillers or any treatment where you go back for top up's and more treatments, it's wise to use the same practitioner who knows what you want, what you are hoping to achieve and who knows your face. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Dr Bassi has attended many conferences and courses, and his skills are always being updated.

Botox Means You Won't Suffer With Excessive Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Summer has arrived and while the warm sunny weather might be great for some of us, there are others who dread it. Excessive sweating can bring misery to those who suffer from it. For one thing it can cause embarrassment and affect your self-confidence, and then worrying about it causes anxiety, which in turn can make the sweating worse.

A few factors about why you sweat;

Male and Female
Men sweat the most, especially during rigorous exercising and even though women have more sweat glands than men, they produce less sweat from each gland.
Body Mass
Because men are usually heavier and have more muscle mass, they tend to produce more heat than women do while exercising. So it seems that the higher a person's body mass index (BMI), the more they sweat. 
Alcohol
Alcohol will increase your heart rate and dilate the blood vessels, making your skin look flushed. Too much alcohol consumption will raise your body temperature, causing you to sweat more.
Spicy Foods
Your body temperature will go up when you eat spicy foods, causing your body to produce sweat to help cool itself down.
Hot Weather
On hot sunny days your body temperature will rise, increasing the heart rate and the blood flow, trying to cool itself down. However, in humid weather, when there's more moisture in the air, it's harder for the sweat on your skin to evaporate, slowing down the cooling process.
Constant sweating
People who experience excessive sweating are suffering from a condition known as hyperhidrosis, and this condition causes them to perspire more than is necessary to regulate their body temperature.

Those of us who sweat a lot, know that it can cause inconvenience, be uncomfortable, and even be embarrassing in some situations, as some of us will find out as we begin a glorious sunny summer.
But there are things that you can do to keep your sweating to a minimum;
  • Clinical strength antiperspirants - Try to use antiperspirants labelled as clinical strength, which usually has aluminium chloride as its active ingredient. And don't forget - antiperspirants keep you from sweating, whilst deodorants just make you smell nice when you sweat.
  • Botox injections - We can inject botox into the skin, to the areas of the body affected by hyperhidrosis. Botox helps to reduce sweating in these areas by blocking the signals from the brain to the sweat glands.
  • Diet - Calcium can slow down the sweating so eating calcium rich foods like low-fat yogurt, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, almonds, baked beans, kale and collard greens will help to regulate temperature and reduce perspiration.
Botox hyperhidrosis treatment is an excellent alternative with outstanding results to stop excessive sweating. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we provide the latest, safe, effective cosmetic medical treatments for excessive sweating. So, if you want a cool, dry summer, call us at Selston Cosmetic Clinic for more information.

Botox Hyperhydrosis Treatment for Excessive Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Women's armpits really do go through a lot in their life time. Whether we use depilatory creams for hair removal, subject them to shaving and waxing rashes or have laser treatment to rid them of our armpit hair, they really do suffer to live up to our standards. However, there is an armpit condition that is a bit more troublesome.

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a condition that can affect both women and men and it's caused by hyperactive sweat glands. Excessive sweating happens in areas where there's a high concentration of sweat glands, such as the hands, feet, armpits and the groin area. This condition can cause extreme embarrassment, and seriously affect our self-confidence. It can cause great emotional and psychological upset, when severe sweating interferes with daily activities, especially when the excessive sweating is from the armpits.

Excessive sweating can cause lots of inconveniences:
  • It limits what type of fabrics you can comfortably wear
  • Washing and dry-cleaning bills will probably soar
  • The embarrassment and frustration it causes when we're in public and with groups of friends
  • When meeting new partners, the main concern is that you'll glisten and glow, not making a great first impression
  • The chances are, that you will have to change your clothing more often.
Most people try self-treatment first; there's a range of antiperspirants you can buy and talcum powder, which can help to absorb the sweat. If these have not helped, Botox hyperhidrosis treatment is an excellent alternative, with outstanding results to stop excessive sweating.


Tips to Prevent Excessive Sweating :
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Don't take hot baths
  • Shave the armpits and groin areas to prevent excessive sweating
  • Lessen your caffeine intake
  • Avoid using any harsh deodorants or soaps
  • Try to avoid hot drinks
  • Avoid smoking, drugs and alcohol
  • Cut out sugary, spicy and chemically processed foodstuff from your diet
  • Wear loose-fitting clothes
  • Wear clothes with natural fibres, like cotton. Avoid synthetic fabrics, like nylon and polyester

Excessive sweating can easily be treated effectively with Botox injections. Selston Cosmetic Clinic provides the latest, safe, effective cosmetic medical treatment for excessive sweating. After making the area numb beforehand to minimise any discomfort, we inject botox in very small quantities in the armpit region.

Botox Treatment for Excessive Underarm Sweating - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

However much we hate it, sweating is natural and it's an important part of our body's ability to regulate our body temperature. Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is a common condition causing a person to sweat excessively. The sweating may affect all of your body, or it may only affect certain areas. Commonly affected areas include the armpits, the palms of your hands, the soles of your feet, your face and face, chest and groin.



Excessive sweating from the armpits is one of the most embarrassing conditions and can seriously affect our self-esteem and the way we go about our daily lives. So, if you are feeling hot and bothered and antiperspirants just aren’t keeping you dry, Botox might be the answer.

There's some practical advice to help stop excessive sweating. Wearing the appropriate clothing is essential. Cotton is ideal, it's cool and it absorbs sweat,  but it does tend to remain damp. Clothes made with synthetic fibres tend to draw sweat away from the body and make you feel dry, however this fabric is good at keeping the body warm and this can just make you sweat even more. You should keep your house and work environment well ventilated, and a change of clothing during the day can help make you feel more comfortable.

Excessive sweating can cause lots of inconveniences:
It limits what type of fabrics you are able to wear.
Washing and dry-cleaning bills will probably soar.
The embarrassment and frustration we feel in public and with groups of friends.
When meeting new partners the main concern is that you’ll glisten and glow, and not in a good way!
The chances are, that you will have to frequently change your clothing.

There are some alternative treatments for underarm sweatiness. Many people will have tried self-treatment first, by trying out a range of over the counter antiperspirants, which are generally ineffective and talcum powder which can help to absorb the sweat. If these have not helped, Botox hyperhidrosis treatment is an excellent alternative with outstanding results to stop excessive sweating.

Excessive sweating can now be treated effectively with Botox injections. Selston Cosmetic Clinic provides the latest, safe, effective cosmetic medical treatments for excessive sweating. We inject Botox in very small quantities in the armpit region, just under the skin, making the area numb beforehand to minimise any discomfort you may experience. We use very fine needles to inject the Botox making the procedure virtually painless. The treatment usually takes about 20-30 minutes and you can return to work immediately after the procedure. In most cases the treatment takes effect within a matter of days and can last up to 9-12 months. The procedure can be repeated as often as necessary.
