Palmar-plantar hyperhidrosis is an excessive sweating of the palms of the hands and of the feet which is carried out by Rupesh at his Harley Street Clinic in London.
Hands sweating is often noticed by the child at the age of 5 when learning to write. The hand and the fingers are damp or wet, making difficult to grip the pen and leaving wet marks on the paper. It becomes a social burden when shaking hands and can interfere with manual skills. The stigma of damp hands, clammy hands is psychologically devastating.
Treatment of Sweaty hands ( palms ) with Botox injections
The patient and Rupesh sit on each side of the examining bed, used as a table. Each hand is “numbed” by applying Emla or LMX Cream. When the patient feels that his hands are numb, the injections can start.
An injection of 100 units Botox is injected into each palm, divided into 15 sites.
The treatment session last 30 minutes but the injections it selves take only 10 minutes to perform on each side.
All the injections are performed by Rupesh, who has a long experience in the treatment.
There is no bleeding and the patient can go back to work after the treatment. The patient is asked to be gentle when using his hands during that day ( no gardening, no heavy cleaning duty, no heavy manual works)
