Start Living a Sweat Free Life – TODAY!
Treatment for excessive sweating – Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive and uncontrollable sweating. It is believed to affect over 200,000 patients Australia wide.
While sweating is normal, natural and an important body function that allows your body to stay cool and release toxins, excessive sweating is not.
Patients with hyperhidrosis cannot control perspiration, and while not painful, it can be extremely embarrassing. For those who love to live life to the fullest, the condition can also be very isolating – particularly in Australia’s climate.
For those who experience excessive sweating, simple daily tasks can be affected. Over time, this can be detrimental to mental health.
Hyperhidrosis most commonly occurs in the hands, feet, armpits and groin. These parts of the body are most affected due to a significant concentration of eccrine sweat glands in these areas. Eccrine sweat glands are activated by movement, overheating and even triggered by emotions. Given this fact, it is no wonder that the hands, feet, armpits and groin are particularly susceptible to excessive sweating.
What is the Best Treatment for Excessive Sweating Treatment?
The best treatment plan for excessive sweating differs from patient to patient. Every individual is different, and your practitioner should customise the treatment process for you. Because of this, the cost and outcome will vary.
Here at Define Laser, we offer a free initial consultation with Dr Watson so that you will gain a realistic perspective of what this treatment will accomplish prior to treatment beginning. During this appointment, Dr Watson will formulate a treatment plan for you that will guarantee the best possible outcome.
Anti-wrinkle Injections for Hyperhidrosis
The treatment for excessive sweating that Dr Watson uses is a botulinum injection. This type of injectable is generally associated with cosmetic wrinkle reduction and the treatment of jaw-clenching and muscle spasms in certain health conditions.
For treating hyperhidrosis, botulinum is used to block the nerve signals responsible for sweating, therefore reducing the amount of sweat produced by sweat glands.
The procedure is simple and fast. Our team will apply numbing cream or administer pain relief one hour before your treatment to reduce discomfort.
Most patients can generally tolerate the pain depending on the area being treated. It should be noted that some areas – such as the hands and feet – are frequently very painful due to a concentrated number of nerve endings.
Dr Watson treats the affected area with a tiny needle, strategically placing each injection. The number of injections needed is different for every area – adjusted according to the severity of the condition and the size of the area being treated. As a general indication, the armpit could require around 25 individual injections.
Dr Watson and his team will monitor your comfort level throughout your treatment and offer additional pain relief when necessary.
Post Hyperhidrosis Treatment
As expected, when an area has received multiple injections, there could be some minor bruising, swelling, or tenderness visible following a hyperhidrosis treatment.
Patients typically start seeing results in five days, with full results after two weeks.
These two weeks can change their lives for people who suffer from this condition!
Ongoing Treatment for Excessive Sweating
Botulinum injections for the treatment of excessive sweating are not permanent. Generally, you will need to be treated every 6 – 9 months as the nerves regenerate. However, over time each treatment will last longer.
Treatment Efficacy
You will be relieved to learn that botulinum injections to treat excessive sweating are very effective! In particular, underarms, hands, and feet produce great results.
If you are a person who experiences the embarrassment and inconvenience of excessive sweating, this treatment could be just what you need.
