Hi All,

I'm 33 and i've been suffering facial HH since about 15. I have been considering ETS surgery but i'm just not willing to take the risk.

At this stage I am desperate. I can't even go and buy a pair of trousers because I will be dripping sweat and have wet hair by the time the purchase is complete.

I just heard about this Botox treatment and I think it is definitely the way to go. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a good place to go in the UK or Ireland.

Thanks for all the help.

On this site....
http://www.sweathelp.org/English/PFF_Treatment_Injections.asp

it seems to refer to botox use on many parts of the body.

I don't really want to use the medication because of the side effects so I might try those wipes first, thanks for the suggestion.

I actually live in Ireland, so I'm not too fussed what part of the UK a clinic might be in. If anyone knows of any more places I would love to hear them.

Thanks All

Hi, you may have seen my post 'facial sweating' just below this thread. I totally understand the symptons you mention. Trying on trousers or suits in a shop can be am awful experience, I understand that totally. I can only add that probanthine taken when you need it rather than on a day to day basis really helps. Try all the other remedies first but don't rule out medication, certainly before surgery. Good luck with whatever you decide to do and if you're successful, let us know.

Do not under estimate just how highly I regard Dr. Alan Cameron and Mr. Isam Osman at the Nuffield Hospital in Ipswich.

Dr. Cameron and Mr. Osman are vascular surgeons, the former with the most experience in the Uk with the ETS procedure - some 23 years. You will not find a more knowledgeable person on the subject than him.

This website details his achievements, although it is a little old now!

I would fully recommend you look to see Dr. Cameron and enquire about ETS surgery. He will most likely recommend you pursue botox injections and will direct you to Mr. Osman, who administers the botox himself.

Both are very friendly and helpful.

I can tell you that I have had a LOT of experience with hyperhidrosis, despite only being 20 years old.

I implore you to explore this avenue.

EDIT: just read that you have facial hyperhidrosis. This changes matters somewhat. Whether botox can be administered for facial hyperhidrosis, I do not know, but these are the questions that these men can answer.

A consultation costs £150, think what trivial things you could spend that money on.
