Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for regulating body temperature. It can significantly impact a person's quality of life, causing embarrassment, discomfort, and social anxiety. Fortunately, hyperhidrosis injection treatments offer an effective solution to manage this condition.

About the Treatment:
Hyperhidrosis injection treatments involve the use of botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, to reduce excessive sweating. Muscle relaxant injections work by blocking the signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands, thereby preventing them from producing sweat in the treated area. This treatment is particularly effective for focal hyperhidrosis, which affects specific areas such as the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet.

Procedure:
The procedure typically takes place in a healthcare provider's office and can be completed in a relatively short amount of time. Here's what you can expect during the treatment:

Consultation: Before the treatment, you'll have a consultation to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. They will evaluate whether you are a suitable candidate for hyperhidrosis injection treatments.

Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned and marked to ensure precise injection placement. Some healthcare providers may apply a topical numbing cream to minimise discomfort during the procedure.

Injection: Using a fine needle, we will administer muscle relaxant injections into the targeted area. The number of injections and the amount of relaxant injections used will vary depending on the severity of your hyperhidrosis and the size of the treatment area.

Post-Treatment Care: After the injections, you can typically resume your normal activities immediately. However, it's essential to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, and rubbing or massaging the treated area for a day or two to minimize the risk of side effects.

Results:
You may start to notice a reduction in sweating within a few days of receiving the injections, with the full effects typically appearing within one to two weeks. The results of hyperhidrosis injection treatments can last for several months, with many individuals experiencing relief for up to six months or longer.
