Hyperhidrosis Specialist in Central London
Sweating is a normal part of daily life. However, some individuals sweat excessively. This is known as hyperhidrosis.
If you experience sweating that feels beyond normal, you're not alone. Hyperhidrosis affects many people, and can severely impact a person's personal and professional life, often causing stress, social and physical discomfort, and anxiety. Fortunately, hyperhidrosis is treatable, resulting in a life-changing impact on a person's wellbeing and quality of life.
A Medical Approach to Managing Hyperhidrosis
Dr Laure Tourame specialises in the treatment of hyperhidrosis. She earned her medical qualification at the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris, where she graduated with High Distinction, and a Medal of Honour for her published thesis. Dr Tourame provides compassionate, personalised care to treat hyperhidrosis in both English and French.
Dr Tourame recognises the significant effect hyperhidrosis can have on quality of life, which aligns closely with her dedication to improving the wellbeing of her patients. She has been personally trained and tutored by Dr Marie-Hélène Marion, a globally renowned expert in medical botulinum toxin treatments (commonly known as Botox).
Treatments for hyperhidrosis include the use of botulinum toxin, as well as oral medication and topical creams. Dr. Tourame ensures that each of her patients receives the best possible and personalised treatment for their condition, depending on the area of their bodies affected and severity of their symptoms.
Effective Treatments for Excessive Sweating
Treatment options for hyperhidrosis vary depending on individual circumstances. Initial approaches often include prescription-strength creams or oral medications. When these methods are insufficient, focused botulinum toxin injections may offer a highly effective alternative. These injections help manage sweating by gently blocking nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands.
Patients commonly find relief from excessive sweating in targeted areas such as the underarms, hands, face, scalp, and back. The procedure itself is minimally invasive, typically takes under 30 minutes, and can significantly reduce symptoms for approximately 6 to 9 months, sometimes longer.
Personalised Hyperhidrosis Care and Support
Dr Tourame's consultations always begin with a careful assessment, ensuring that treatment is tailored specifically to your needs and circumstances. She believes in an empathetic approach, providing clear explanations and answering any questions you may have throughout a patient's treatment.
