What is it?
Do you struggle with excessive sweating in your underarms, hands, or face? Does it affect your confidence and daily life? Hyperhidrosis treatments can help manage these concerns effectively.
Hyperhidrosis treatment involves the use of sweat-reducing injections, commonly used to manage excessive sweating in the underarms, hands, and face. This treatment is widely recognized and utilized for sweat control.
During hyperhidrosis treatment, sweat-reducing injections work by temporarily blocking nerve signals that activate the sweat glands.1 This process helps manage excessive sweating by reducing sweat gland activity.2
What to expect?
The treatment takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes and involves minimal discomfort.
The results?
Within the first 3 weeks after the initial treatment, patients may notice a reduction in underarm sweating. The effects of hyperhidrosis treatment typically last around 6 months, varying among individuals. Repeat injections may be needed as the effects gradually diminish.
