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.Don't worry about perspiration

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.
