HYPERHIDROSIS
Hyperhidrosis - Treatment for excessive underarm perspiration
Hyperhidrosis means excessive sweating. Sweating is
one of the most
important ways in which the body loses heat. However people
with hyperhidrosis produce sweat in amounts far greater than
needed to control their temperature.
Excessive sweating can be an embarrassing problem especially
on
social occasions. Almost half of the sufferers with hyperhidrosis
also have a relative with the same problem suggesting that
it is genetic. Botulinum toxin is an excellent treatment for excessive
sweating affecting the armpits when other treatments have
failed.
Perspiration reduction in one week
Botulinum toxin is injected into the skin of each armpit very superficially
with a tiny needle. This blocks the nerve impulse to the sweat glands thus reducing perspiration.
The treatment takes around 45 minutes.
After treatment you should notice a reduction in perspiration
within a week, though it may take longer. The effects of this
treatment will last up to 7 months so you can enjoy life without
having to worry about perspiration.
