Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be a daily struggle for those who suffer from it.
From soaking through shirts and causing embarrassing situations to hindering self-confidence, the impact of hyperhidrosis goes beyond physical discomfort.
Fortunately, the rise in popularity of antiwrinkle injections has provided a much-needed breakthrough for hyperhidrosis. This non-invasive treatment option has proven to be incredibly successful in combating excessive sweating, offering remarkable outcomes.
Let’s take a closer look at the treatment of hyperhidrosis using antiwrinkle injections.
Hyperhidrosis: what is it and who does it affect?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that involves an abnormal, excessive production of sweat unrelated to temperature or physical exertion.
It primarily affects the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet. Hyperhidrosis can be distressing and impact a person’s quality of life, leading many to seek effective treatments.

How to help sweating: antiwrinkle injections
While widely associated with cosmetic procedures, antiwrinkle injections have a surprising application in treating hyperhidrosis.
Antiwrinkle injections work by temporarily blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates sweat glands. When injected into the target area, it hinders the communication between nerves and sweat glands, reducing excessive sweating.

You will be offered numbing cream and pain relief if you wish to proceed with this treatment. Depending on how many areas are affected, the antiwrinkle injections are administered by a fine needle and treatment is relatively quick.
The procedure is minimally invasive and generally well-tolerated.
