Perspiration (or sweating) is the human body’s way to regulate temperature and cooling itself down. Sweat is mostly made up of salty water, and in normal circumstances provides an evaporative cooling effect. As the moisture evaporates and disappears, the sensation of coolness quickly follows. Whilst most of our bodies may experience the occasional sweaty situation such as with nervous palms, some adults can sweat up to 14 litres of perspiration in just one day. Excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that affects up to 3% of the population. Unlike normal perspiration which is produced when the body is hot, hyperhidrosis is characterised by the excessive production of sweat, even when the body is cool.
Hyperhidrosis injections block the sweat gland signals and help provide long-lasting dry and comfortable relief. Surrounding muscles and contours remain unaffected creating uninhibited movement and freedom. Despite common belief, sweat is not transferred to another gland, creating further problems. The over-producing gland is simply stopped.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Hyperhidrosis Injections utilise the same active ingredient used for Anti-Wrinkle Injections. Affected regions of the underarms are isolated and targeted for dramatic and instant results. Hyperhidrosis Injections cause sweat gland signals to be blocked, providing long-lasting dry and comfortable relief. Surrounding muscles and contours remain unaffected creating uninhibited movement and freedom. Despite common belief, sweat is not transferred to another gland, creating further problems. The over-producing gland is simply ceased. As each case of hyperhidrosis is unique, an assessment is paramount to determine the exact areas to be treated and how much product is required. Treatment for both underarms may be performed in approximately 45 minutes and are relatively painless.
BENEFITS OF TREATMENT
Anti-Wrinkle Injections used to treat Hyperhidrosis can assist with reducing excessive sweating and unwanted skin irritations. Primary Hyperhidrosis are often genetically linked and the condition occurs in specific areas of the body such as the armpits, hands, feet and facial region. Hyperhidrosis is not a permanent solution; however, patients report anywhere from 6 to 12 months of relief.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Unlike the daily application of medicated deodorants or iontophoresis, Hyperhidrosis Injections provide up to 12 months of relief after just 1 session. Using the same active ingredient in Anti-Wrinkle Injections, sweat gland signals are blocked providing long-lasting and non-surgical results.
