Hyperhidrosis
Excessive Sweating
No more embarrassing moments.
Hyperhidrosis is a common condition in which a person sweats excessively.
The sweating may affect the whole of your body, or it may only affect certain areas. Commonly affected areas include the: armpits (most common) or palms of your hands.
Although hyperhidrosis does not affect your health, it can impact a person’s life quality.
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what's necessary for normal thermoregulation. This condition can affect various body areas, most commonly the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis), palms, and soles of the feet.
Treatment with Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox) has emerged as a highly effective treatment for hyperhidrosis. This neurotoxin works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that triggers sweat glands.
The Treatment Process
Initial consultation with a qualified healthcare provider
Treatment area is cleaned and marked
Multiple small injections are administered in a grid pattern
Procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes
Minimal downtime required
