Excessive sweating, also called hyperhidrosis, is a common problem, which is quite disturbing to the sufferer. Those affected complain that they can only wear white or black clothes, and that it is really embarrassing.
Excessive sweating injections work by blocking the communication of sweat glands and the nerves causing their overactivity. The secretion of acetylcholine into the gap between the nerve and sweat gland is required for the glands proper function. Injectable excessive sweating treatments block release of acetylcholine from the nerve terminals, preventing communication between the nerve and sweat gland.
This is done by mapping out areas of problematic sweat glands during your consultation. Occasionally, we may decide to perform a starch-iodine test to clearly identify areas of particular concern.
Injections are performed under topical local anaesthetic to ensure comfort of the procedure.
