Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Book a ConsultationExcessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can affect your daily life and confidence. If you’ve been struggling with this issue, you’re not alone.
Fortunately, advances in medical science have led to effective treatments, including the use of neuromodulators. Neuromodulator injections are a safe and proven method for managing hyperhidrosis and reducing excessive sweating, and can be used to treat the underarms, hands, and feet. The treatment works by temporarily inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for activating sweat production. This leads to a significant reduction in sweat production, helping you stay dry and comfortable.
The effects of neuromodulator injections for hyperhidrosis are not permanent but can provide substantial relief within a week or two after treatmen,t and results can last for six to twelve months. As the effects wear off, you can opt for maintenance treatments to sustain the benefits and continue enjoying a sweat-free lifestyle.
