Hyperhydrosis quite simply means excessive sweating, however it effects millions of people around the world. This uncontrolled sweating can occur in various parts of the body including the hands, feet, or underarms. It is thought to be an inherited condition which stops the body from properly regulating its temperature.
Our doctors use a prescription solution targeted at the actual source of the sweating. This solution has been used beneficially for many years in a number of therapeutic applications and has been demonstrated to be very safe.. More recently it has been in widespread use a muscle relaxant, popular for smoothing facial wrinkles. Once this solution is injected, it enters the specific glands responsible for sweating and blocks the release of the chemical which signals the perspiration. This procedure takes about 10 minutes and your first treatment should last about 7 to 9 months, however, results vary from person to person. At your consultation with our doctor, you will be advised how many units of treatment you will require, with a recommended treatment plan.
