What it is
Normal sweating is the body’s natural way of regulating temperature. Hyperhidrosis, by contrast, is excessive, uncontrollable sweating that happens even in everyday situations and without an obvious trigger.
Neuromodulators temporarily block communication between the nerves and the sweat glands, preventing the release of the neurotransmitter responsible for excess sweating. The glands produce less sweat as a result.
Who it is for
People with excessive sweating of the:
- Underarms
- Hands
- Feet
The session
The treatment takes about 30 minutes. The neuromodulators are injected into the affected area with a very fine needle, just under the epidermis. It is a relatively painless procedure and needs no anaesthesia.
Usually one session is enough. In some cases, depending on how severe the hyperhidrosis is and your needs, additional sessions may be recommended.
Results
The effects are noticeable from 7 days. The amount of sweat drops markedly, and you can go about your day without worrying about it.
